Work analysis of soil-steel structure in the construction phase illustrated with SuperCor SC-57S

This the paper aims to present the results of studies of the flexible SuperCor SC-57S structure built by Polish manufacturer “ViaCon Polska Sp. z o.o.” to determine maximum values of displacement and internal forces that occur in the structure during its construction. The finite element method was used to develop a numerical model of the structure whose behaviour was then simulated. The conclusions based on the values of measured displacements and internal forces may be helpful in understanding the behaviour of flexible steel and soil structures.
