A Review of Roadway Culverts as per I.R.C. Loading

Himanshu Shrivastava, Bilal Ahmed Khan

Abstract


Culverts are ideally suitable structures across a highway or railway embankment to balance the flood water on both sides. This research work presents the results of a parametric investigation of two types of reinforced concrete culverts subject to various loadings conditions for Bhopal using finite element method. The dimensions of culverts had same span and width. The vehicle loads were projected on the top slab using I.R.C. specifications for 70R class A loading. Hydraulic pressure was applied on the vertical wall which depends on the depth of the culvert which is calculated as per topography of the region. The finite element method was used to analyze the structural behavior of the three-dimensional culverts using staad.pro.

 In this paper we are analyzing past research work done related to our study area related to culvert analysis.
