This paper presents the implementation of the Value Engineering concept in the area of buried flexible steel structures. A short background of Value Engineering is presented to clarify the concept. Furthermore, its specific application is considered based on a holistic approach incorporating all relevant areas such as design, construction, cost, timing, maintenance, value of money in time, decision maker preferences. A short example showing the practical application is presented and discussed in view of the sensitivity of the results.
The following article raises questions on good practices that should accompany both the design and installation process of corrugated soil-steel bridges. Solutions for crucial elements of soil-steel structures developed over the years of experience and observations are put forward. The authors put special emphasis on issues related to the flexible soil-steel structures protection against water and point to new developments in the waterproof design area. The paper presents examples of properly executed civil engineering facilities, which indicated further development directions. The authors wish to draw attention to the fact that with the popularization of corrugated steel plate bridges the necessity of dissemination of correct and reliable solutions among designers and contractors increases. They provide a guarantee for long and seamless bridge utilization.
