Abstract: In this paper, a new application of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) backfill around corrugated steel plate (CSP) pipe culverts is proposed and its feasibility is explored experimentally and numerically. Pressure distribution ...

Abstract: The interaction between surface structures and buried pipes is unavoidable. For instance, placing the pipe at a shallow depth, near to the surface, attracts substantial additional earth pressures due to the external surface ...

Abstract: Routing utility conduits underneath buildings is not always an avoidable situation, especially in densely populated and congested urban centers. Placing the pipe at a shallow depth attracts substantial additional earth ...
