Abstract:
Culvert design is an important part of infrastructure construction because it affects public safety and resilience in the face of dynamic hydraulic occurrences. Engineers may design culverts that efficiently manage water flow, improve infrastructure resilience, and contribute to the overall safety and functionality of traffic networks by considering numerous flow scenarios and conducting extensive assessments. By providing a designated passage for water, box culverts help manage flood risks. They ensure balanced water levels on both sides of the road embankment, reducing the risk of flooding on one side and minimizing the overall impact of floods. This paper dives into the design considerations for box culverts, specifically focusing on Live Load Distribution, Earth Pressure and Cushion Layer. Live Load Distribution refers to how traffic weight is spread across the culvert's top slab. The paper explores factors like the "angle of dispersion" or "effective width" that influence how this load is distributed. The weight of the surrounding soil exerts pressure on the culvert walls. This paper examines how the "coefficient of earth pressure" affects the design of these walls. Some box culverts have a layer of material placed on top of the slab to distribute loads and protect it from damage. This paper investigates the impact of the "depth of cushion" on the overall structure. By analyzing these design parameters, engineers can create more efficient and durable box culverts that effectively manage water flow and contribute to flood control efforts. This study has investigated culvert performance under diverse flow circumstances, encompassing both steady and fluctuating flows. This comprehensive approach has led to a deeper understanding of how culverts react to different water flow patterns and their ultimate performance limitations. This research emphasizes the need for complete design assessments and the use of technologies such as HEC-RAS in guaranteeing culvert safety and operation under various flow circumstances.
