This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A full-scale live load test was conducted on a 36-ft span precast reinforced concrete arch culvert in October 1992. The soil-structure interaction analysis procedure of correlating the actual and predicted performance of this underground structure was the subject of study, partially sponsored by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), during the 1992-94 period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports 230.000 of the 577.000 bridges in the United States as deficient functionally or structurally. The majority of the structurally deficient bridges are short-span, averaging less than 15 m (50 feet) in length. Within the past two decades, prefabricated culverts have become economical alternatives for replacing deteriorating short-span bridges and cast-in-place box culverts. These prefabricated structures include reinforced concrete arches, four-sided and three-sided reinforced concrete culverts, and metal box culverts. The most commonly used type is the precast reinforced concrete culverts due to its durability, minimal field construction time, and favorable cost. Several test programs have concluded that concrete box culverts of standard ASTM C850 are structurally conservative. The strain and deflection data from model testing were found to be in good agreement with field testing of prototypes. Ihe availability of the finite element analysis programs provide the engineer an opportunity to model the actual three-dimensional geometry and boundary conditions more accurately. This research will demonstrate the use of the finite element method in analyzing me structural behavior and stress distribution of four-sided and three-sided concrete box culverts subjected to various highway loadings. A finite element modeling technique will be recommended for use by engineers. The results will assist in modeling and predicting the actual strength and behavior of a particular ASTM C 850 section or a new culvert with larger opening. Thirteen four-sided and three-sided concrete culverts will be idealized using the finite clement structural package SAP90. The following element types will be considered: (a) plate bending and stretching (shell) elements; (b)eight-node brick elements. A mesh sensitivity analysis will be performed to select a proper finite element discretization of the culverts. The culverts will be loaded with AASHTO wheel load including impact effect. Simple supports will be used at the bottom side edges. The maximum deflection in the culvert will be computed as well as the maximum moment in the upper face. The stress distribution will also be investigated. The three-dimensional cases to be analyzed will be compared to the two-dimensional frame analysis approach proposed by AASHTO (1992), and to test results from prototype culverts.

Book excerpt: "The main objective of this study was to evaluate and improve ODOT's current load rating procedures for corrugated metal culverts. This objective is achieved by testing 39 in-service culverts under static and dynamic loads, by evaluating the response of test culverts using available theoretical methods and numerical simulations, and by evaluating and advancing the current analysis tools and load rating methods based on the analytical and experimental evidence generated in this research"--Technical report documentation page
