UNLOADING OF COASTAL BRIDGE SUPPORTS FROM LATERAL EMBANKMENT PRESSURE WITH A DEVICE OF VARIABLE STIFFNESS CONSTRUCTIONS
The paper discusses the technology of unloading coastal bridge supports from the lateral pressure of the embankment by arranging structures of variable stiffness. The proposed design completely unloads the coastal supports from the lateral pressure of the embankment soil and transfers the load from the rolling stock outside the prism of the collapse of the embankment cone.
