SuperCor® structures are the new generation of flexible structures made of galvanized corrugated steel plates of a very

high stiffness. To take the loads, those structures use interaction with surrounding backfill soil. The load capacity

of SuperCor® is far higher than traditional structures made of corrugated steel. SuperCor® structures are used for building

engineering objects above and under roads and railways. Spans can reach 25 m.

Structures are simple and easy to assembly.

Average assembly time takes a few days in assistance with small crew.

The beginning of SuperCor® use dates back to the middle of 80’ in 20th century. Nowadays they have been used in many

countries all over the world, in Poland used since 2000. ViaCon group manufactures SuperCor® in Scandinavia and Poland.

ViaCon Polska has been producing SuperCor® structures since 2008 in Rydzyna, Poland.

1. Introduction

2.

Typical sequence for construction of SuperCor® bridges:

- foundations

- delivery

- assembly

- backfilling

- finishing works

SuperCor® structures have many advantages over traditional bridge solutions:

- simple design due to fewer details, drawings and calculations database for standard application

- easy and fast assembly

- possibility to assemble in temperatures below zero

- possibility to assemble structures without traffic stop

- possibility to assemble of partial or total prefabrication

of structures

- due to lightweight, corrugated plates can be delivered easily

and economically to remote locations

- reduction in total time and cost of building a bridge

1. Introduction

www.viacon.pl 3.

SuperCor® versatile structures are used for roads and railways and industrial applications:

- bridges

- overpasses

- tunnels

- culverts

- underpasses

- pedestrian tunnels

- ecological crossings, hangars

- shelters

- underground storages

- belt conveyor protection

Furthermore, SuperCor® structures can be used for reinforcement and reconstruction of existing structures (bridges,

culverts, tunnels, underpasses).

2. Application

4.

We manufacture SuperCor® using TQM approach. Our production is certified in accordance to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 .

The process of SuperCor production consists of mechanical forming of steel flat plates to the shape of corrugated curved plates which

are later hot-dip galvanized. Producing of holes, cutting is done prior to galvanizing.

Corrugated plates can be epoxy painted on request. Whole process is located indoor.

Hot –dip galvanizing is the most durable method of corrosion protection.

Galvanized coating is metallurgically- bonded to the steel surface, providing extended service life.

In order to extend the durability of SuperCor® structures, especially in an aggressive environment, there is a possibility to apply

an additional corrosion protection by applying epoxy paint.

Corrosion protection of SuperCor® structures is made in a production plant and consists of:

- hot-dip galvanizing of steel plates and additional fitting elements

- epoxy painting galvanized plates (if specified additionally)

SuperCor® structures are protected by hot galvanizing as a standard, with zinc coating layer according to EN ISO 1461 (table 2).

Other thickness of zinc layer is possible on request.

Please contact ViaCon representative for advice.

The protection of structures both by hot-dip galvanizing and epoxy paint creates ViaCoat system conformed to EN ISO 12944-5.

Paint coat thickness is controlled by EN ISO 2808. Minimum adhesion of the epoxy paint to the zinc base measured by pull - off method

shouldn’t be less than 4 MPa, and an adjacent test is conducted acc. to the norm PN-EN ISO 4624.

In order to obtain right adhesion galvanized plates are sweep blast prior to application of paint.

In order to obtain the proper protection effect, paint coatings are applied in special conditions i.e. inside of closed halls with controlled

temperature, humidity. Keeping a technological regime is crucial for successful performance of the protection system.

Corrugated steel plates are joined by bolts M20 (class 8.8 ). The lengths of bolts are related to thickness of connected plates and type

of connection.

There are two types of bolt heads (Fig. 3):

- oval - shaped

- cone - shaped

All joint elements mentioned above are delivered in marked boxes together with the structure.

SuperCor® structures consist of corrugated plates and additional elements. Table 3 lists these elements.

Design process includes the following:

- design of SuperCor® structure (including assembly and backfilling procedure)

- design of engineered backfill

- design of foundation

- design of in and outlet fitting elements

SuperCor® structures are designed for all road and railway live load classes acc. to Eurocode 1 EN 1991-2 and for national standards

as well as for (STANAG 2021) loads.


4.1. Scope of design

The following algorithm should be used when designing of SuperCor®

structures:

- specify the function of a structure bridge (culvert, viaduct,

ecological crossing, etc.)

- choose the shape (for underpasses, ecological crossings,

adjust to box clearance)

- determine water flow and light (for culverts and bridges)

- choose the type of foundation and specify material

- specify the cover depth

- determine type of dead and live load (for seismic areas specify

seismic zone)

- specify the engineered backfill material and its installation procedure

- make static calculations as well as specify deformations during construction

- select the corrosion protection depending on required durability

- choose the assembly procedure (estimate the labor and the cost of assembly)

- design of inlet and outlet

- design skewed part of a structure

4.2. Design algorithm

9.


www.viacon.pl

Contact us for help in static calculations of SuperCor® structures.

SuperCor® structures are dimensioned with use of Swedish design method developed by prof. Sundquist and prof. Pettersson.

They can also be designed with the use of other methods, approved by producer of the structures, e.g. CHBDC. In complex cases finite

element method (FEM) can be used.

4.3. Dimensioning

In order to select a typical shape of a structure please use tables provides on (pages 34-44). These tables include standard shapes.

Other shapes are available on request.

A profile of a structure should fit to a clearance box.

Allow for tolerances of structure dimensions.

Acceptable tolerances are given in chapter 7.

4.4. Selection of structure cross section

10.

Definition of the cover depth for road structures:

Vertical distance between top of a steel structure main barrel and top of the pavement including the pavement layer.

Definition of the cover depth for railway structures:

Vertical distance between top of a steel structure main barrel and bottom of railway sleeper.

Box structures

Depth of cover for box structure should be:

0,45 ≤ hc ≤ 1,5 [m]

Minimum cover depth also depends on the thickness of the pavement layer (Gn) and should not be less than:

hc = Gn + 0,15 [m]

Other shapes

For arch, round, elliptical shapes estimated cover depth is calculated using the formula:

hc = 0,1 × B [m]

where B – span of the structure [m]

Lover cover depth is permissible when appropriate static calculations are conducted. Maximum depth of a cover is always designed

individually. For high cover depth load reduction techniques are available.

Please contact us for advice.

4.5. Cover depth


Bottom length of SuperCor® structures should conform to the following formula:

Ld=38+n×762+38 [mm]

where n – number of full rings alongside length

Top length of a structure is determined individually (in and outlets).

Ends of SuperCor® structures can be vertical or beveled to match

the embankment slope (Fig. 7). For beveled ends minimum X-step

is 0,18 m.

For structures curved in plane use bends to align to designed

curvature (Fig. 8)

Minimum permissible angle for skewed ends is 55º.

Concrete collars are used for large skews .

Steel meshes attached to SuperCor® structure can be also used

for skewed areas.

4.7. Skew angles


www.viacon.pl 13.

4.8. Reinforcing ribs

Reinforcing ribs should be used when flexural capacity of the section is exceeded.

Ribs can be used for all shapes of structures.

Reinforcing ribs:

in cross section (Fig. 10)

– in haunch and crown

– on whole perimeter

In order to get a bigger capacity, space between main barrel and reinforcing ribs can be filled with concrete (EC ribs).The use of EC ribs

can be necessary for large span structures. C25/30 concrete is used as filling acc. to EN 206-1:2000. Thanks to such a sulution used for

arch structures, bigger cross sectional area is achieved, which leads to decrease of compression stresses in steel wall. For boxes,

higher flexural capacity is reached by connecting ribs to the main barrel.

in longitudinal section (Fig. 11)

- continuous – placed on the whole top length of the structure

- spaced at intervals of 762 mm, 1143 mm or 1524 mm

Fig. 10. Placement of the ribs in cross section of the structure


Fig. 11. Placement of the ribs in longitudinal direction of the structure

14.


www.viacon.pl 15.

For multiple structure installations, the smallest clear spacing between adjacent structures should be sufficient for the placement

and compaction of soil (Fig. 12). The minimum spacing requirement depends upon the shape and size of structures. When the required

distance can not be achieved, space between structures should be filled with C10/15 concrete or cement stabilized soil to the level

where the distance between structures is not less than 10% of structure span. Please contact us for advice.

Fig. 12. Minimum clear spacing for multiple installations

4.9. Multiple installation


16.

SuperCor® structures with closed shapes (round, elliptical, pipe-arch) are placed on soil bedding as follows:

- thickness of soil bedding – minimum 60 cm

- top portion of the bedding should be shaped to fit to the bottom plates of a structure

- particular care should be exercised in compacting soil under haunches

- upper 15 cm layer of the bedding should be relatively loose material so that the corrugation can seat in it

SuperCor® structures with open shapes (arches, boxes) are placed on concrete footings, steel footer pads or a full steel invert.

Connection of the structure to the concrete footings is realized by the means of anchor bolts, taking the following into account:

- anchor bolts for concrete foundations to be installed in concrete footings prior to delivery of a SuperCor® structure

- anchor bolts should not stick out from the top of the footing more than 40 mm

- placing of anchor bolts should conform to assembly drawing; the allowable tolerance is ±3 mm in longitudinal direction and ±2 mm

in the transverse direction

- to minimize a risk of mistake, the location of each anchor should always be measured from the starting point (first anchor)

- parallel placement of anchor bolts on each footing and perpendicular placement of each pair of anchor bolts for individual rings

are of great importance; better accuracy, easier assembly of the structure

Material:

- gravel, sand - gravel mix, all - in aggregates and crushed stone can be used as bedding and backfill material

- aggregate grain size depends on size of corrugation profile; for 381x140 mm maximum size is 120 mm

- aggregate grain size should be 0-120 mm, ununiformity coefficient is Cu>5,0, curvature coefficient 1<Cc<3

and permeability k>6 m/24 hours

- soil restrictions apply for area adjacent to a structure (please contact us for advice)

- the use of cohesive soils, organic soils and soils included permafrost is not acceptable

Placing:

- backfill material around the structure should be placed in uncompacted layers maximum 300 mm thick and then compacted

- the fill should be placed on both sides of the structure at the same time, or alternating from one side of the structure to the other side,

to keep it close to the same elevation on both sides of the structure at all times. No more than one layer difference in elevation on each

side should be allowed. Each layer must be compacted to the specified density before adding the next

- backfill material should be compacted to minimum 95% standard Proctor density – in the area of 20 cm next to the structure,

98% standard Proctor density – in the remaining area

In order to increase load bearing capacity/ soil stiffness of surrounding soil geosynthetic and galvanized steel which can be used.

4.11. Bedding and backfill


www.viacon.pl 19.

4.12. End treatment (inlet/outlet)

End treatment depends on the way the ends of structure are cut. For beveled ends, slopes can be finished by paving with stones blocks,

etc. For bevel ends with gabion mattresses, waterproof solutions must be applied. Please contact us for advice.

As an alternative to concrete headwalls MSE Walls (for instance ViaWall system) or gabions can be applied.

Concrete collar is used:

- in order to stiffen inlet and outlet of SuperCor® structure with beveled ends

- as finishing element used as support of end treatment

Concrete collar is applied mostly in following cases:

- structures with skew angles to the road axis , when skew angle on outlet and inlet

is ≤ 65 ° and span is > 3,5m

- structures exceed 6,0 m span

- large skews

SuperCor® structures can be equipped with additional elements depending on function of the structure e.g.:

- lighting boxes

- ventilation

- shelves for animals

- technical holes

Hot-dip galvanization is a basic anti-corrosion protection

of SuperCor® structures.

Durability of SuperCor® structures can extend over 100 years.

SuperCor® structures are hot-dip galvanized according

to EN ISO 1461.

If necessary, SuperCor® structures can be provided with

an extra layer of zinc or additional corrosion protection by

epoxy coating called ViaCoat. These solutions are applied

for aggressive environments.

In most cases the extend of corrosion protection by epoxy coating is as follows:

- inside and/or outside on the whole area of a structure

- at inlet and outlet of the structure (1,5 m inside the structure)

- inside up to 0,5 m above mean water level

- as a combination of above mentioned

Most common thickness of epoxy paint is 200 μm, however other thicknesses are possible. Please contact us of advice.

Following factors have an influence on structure’s durability:

- aggressiveness of an environment

- application of structure

- draining solutions

- abrasion

- installation damages

- corrosion protection

- plate thickness

- quality and frequency maintenance

4.15. Durability

Fig. 16. Epoxy coating protection


www.viacon.pl 23.

Procedure of calculating durability of SuperCor® structures:

- define the function of a structure

- define the required durability (lifetime) of a structure

- define the aggressiveness of the environment (water, backfill, air)

- select the type of a structure

- specify the plate thickness based on static calculations (acc. to Sundquist-Petterson method)

- specify the corrosion protection (thickness of zinc coating, paint coating, extend of painting, painting procedure)

- define annual loss of the protection layers in upper and lower part of a structure

- calculate the structure durability by considering corrosion progress over service lifetime

- compare calculated durability with the required

- adjust the anticorrosion solution and if required repeat the calculations

In cases, when the durability of SuperCor® structure is not enough, following measures can be taken :

- change corrosion protection (thickness of zinc layer, paint coat)

- increase the plate thickness

- adjust the shape of a structure and section stiffness to allow for more corrosion reserve

Durability of the ViaCoat system is higher than sum of durability of the protection layers and can be calculated as:

SD=α * (SC+SZ)

where:

SD – total durability of the protection layer [years]

SC – durability of zinc coat [years]

SZ – durability of the epoxy coat [years]

α – synergy factor (from 1,5 to 2,5) for 200 μm thick paint layer α = 1,5; for 400 μm thick paint layer α = 1,75



24.

5.1. Delivery

SuperCor® structures are delivered to the building site with following elements:

- plates are shipped nested in bundles, complete with wall, bolts and nuts necessary for erection. Each bundle includes plates with

the same type and radius. The weight of each package not exceed 3,5 tons

- plates are color coded for easy identification, corresponding to the enclosed assembly drawing.

- outer plates with cuts (inlet and outlet of the structure) are numbered.

- bolts, nuts, anchor bolts, technical drawing, as well as assembly tools (crowbar, bolts feeder, gripper, punch) are delivered in one

separate package

- the cans of paint are also provided to repair damages

- base channel for footing connection can be delivered earlier, when foundation is prepared, in separate package on request.

- all elements delivered to the building site are listed on packing list.

While unloading, each delivery should be checked in comparison with a packing list. The number of plates should be equal to the

amount listed on assembly drawing. Other elements such as: bolts, nuts, anchor bolts, base channels and assembly tools are listed

on the assembly list.

Unloading can be realized with a crane or an excavator and with use of belts. It’s not allowed to use equipment that can damage

protective layers. Make sure to adjust the carrying capacity of equipment to weight of bundles. Small damage appeared during

transport, loading and unloading could be repaired on the building site, after assembly. There is always repair paint kit delivered

with the structure.

www.viacon.pl 25.

5.2. Assembly

Assembly of SuperCor® is quick & easy. It is important to study carefully the assembly drawing and hints before installation.

Assembly drawing presents the position of each plate in the structure area and describes the assembly rules. It is necessary to follow

the assembly guide step by step. Detailed assembly instructions are delivered with each structure.

For profiles with a closed shape, placed on soil foundation, the assembly process starts after preparing the bedding.

For profiles with an open shape, placed on concrete foundation, the assembly process starts after making concrete foundation with

fixed anchor bolts. Anchor bolts are used to connect base channels, which allows to mount the structure elements.

When tightening the bolts during assembly

allow for some loose on bolting connection.

It will allow for better adjustment of plates.

Fully torque will be applied after completion

of assembly. The position of nuts (inside

or outside) is not important from static point

of view. In case when ribs are used, the

bolts position should be as in the assembly

drawing. Nuts, situated with no access

to use wrench machine, should be fully

torqued in the first stage.


26.

5.3. Torque of bolts

For connection of corrugated plates in SuperCor® structures bolts M20 with nuts are used. Bolts and nuts are color coded for ease

in identification and delivered together with steel plates in separate packages.

Final torque should be done after whole structure is assembled but before backfilling. Bolts should be tighten progressively and uniformly,

starting from the center of the structure towards both ends. During backfilling checks of torque should be done as the actual bolt torque

can decrease slightly due to deformation.

The recommended torque is:

Minimum of 300 Nm, maximum of 360 Nm for structures with spans up to 7,0 m

Minimum of 360 Nm, maximum of 450 Nm for structures with spans more than 7,0 m

Control of torque.

5% of the whole number of bolts should be checked for torque. Minimum

95% of checked bolts must have required torque and the torque

of remaining 5% can not be less than 250 Nm.

The measurements are realized with use of dynamometrical key, with

a valid calibration certificate.


www.viacon.pl 27.

5.4. Assembly equipment

- hand wrenches

- power wrenches

- scaffoldings and ladders

- feeders for bolts

- belts and ropes

- torque wrench

- etc.

5.5. Assembly time

In good weather conditions, experienced assembly crew (6-8 people) equipped with assembly tools is able to install about 50

corrugated plates per day (within 8 hours)

In order to estimate assembly the following data is required:

- structure destination

- building site conditions

- available assembly tools

- shape and size of structure

- range of ribs

- etc.



28.

5.6. Deformation during backfilling

During backfilling SuperCor® structure will deform developing soil - structure interaction.

The Supercor structure with surrounding soil, constitute soil - steel composite structure with soil being a major load carrying component.

Deformations of the structure should be controlled.

Please contact us for estimation of deformation of SuperCor® structure during backfilling.

Fig. 17. Example of structure deformation during backfilling (Machelski 2008)

w - vertical deflection z - cover depth


www.viacon.pl 29.

5.7. Shape control

Structure must be checked periodically during the backfilling procedure to ensure the shape is consistent with the producer’s

recommendation.

Once one full ring of structure is assembled, preliminary shape control should be performed.

Shape checks should be carried out both during and after assembly.

It is recommended that the producer’s representative be present during erection and backfilling of the structure.

Control of compaction during construction is the responsibility of the contractor.

Please contact us for advise in shape control.


30.

SuperCor® structures are also commonly used to repair old bridges where there

are no possibilities to build a new one. This method is called relining. Corrugated

steel structure is placed inside the existing structure (bridge / culvert / underpass)

and space between an old bridge / culvert and new structural plate is filled

with concrete C12.5/15. This method allows to strengthen the structures without

any traffic stops and eliminates the necessity of remaining the old structure.

The control of pouring concrete between existing structure and new steel

structure should be done by revision holes. During pouring concrete

it is necessary to control deformations of SuperCor®. They shouldn’t exceed

maximum allowed in section No. 7 “Tolerances”. In a case where so called “open” shapes will be used for relining there is a need to make

concrete footings which could be connected to existing one. Existing footings can be used also but it will require separate analysis

or expertise.

6. Relining

www.viacon.pl 31.

Plate dimensions tolerances:

- length and width of the plate ±7mm

- length and height of the corrugation ±5mm

- distance between the holes ±3mm

- plate thickness acc. to EN 10051 +A1

- radius of curvature ±10mm

Tolerances of structure geometry (all profiles excl. Boxes):

Structure dimensions after torque shouldn’t be different than designed with following tolerances:

- span +2%

- rise ±2%

- length ±0.5%

Deformation of cross section after backfilling shouldn’t exceed 2% of the span measured after assembly.

Tolerances of Box structure geometry:

Structure dimensions after torque shouldn’t be different than designed with following tolerances:

- span +2%

- rise +2% / -4%

- length ±0.5%

Deformation of cross section after backfilling shouldn’t exceed 1% of the

span measured after assembly. Based on experience those deflections

are much smaller.

In 2007 r. over international double truck electrified railway line E20 Section

Rzepin - Polish –German border two animal overpasses were built.

Two SuperCor® SCA-35 low profile Arch’s set on the concrete foundations were

used in two different locations.

Basic parameters are following:

- span – 20,00 m

- rise – 5,97 m

- bottom length– 57,988 m

- corrugation – 381 x 140 mm

SuperCor® SCA-35 structures were

corrosion protected by zinc coat acc. to

EN ISO 1461:2000

Assembly was realized parallel by two

independent crew and took 19 days only.

Structures were assembled using plate by

plate method and partially preassembled

using one crane/structure and two basket

elevators/structure.

Arches were backfilled with sand-gravel mix (0-32mm) and compacted to min 98%

Acc. to standard Proctor density. Height of cover is 1.5 m.

Over each structure geosynthetic (NV geotextile + geomembrane +NV geotextile

“ambrella” were used to protect against rain water leak.

On the top of the overpasses antidazzle fences were built with height 2.5 m.
