Abstract: This study presents the production and full-scale testing of specific synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete pipes in a dry cast environment. Production and testing were conducted to identify the structural behavior of concrete ...

Abstract: This study presents a survey of deformation characteristics of the installed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines. Video and laser inspections are carried out on over 15,000 ft (4,572 m) of buried HDPE pipelines ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the shear behavior and capacity of the precast concrete box culverts subjected to HS 20 truck wheel load. The most critical culvert behavior was considered by studying culverts subjected to zero depth ...

Abstract: The pipe-soil interaction is studied by using the finite-element software ABAQUS/CAE Version 6.5-1 as a symmetric model of embankment installation to study the effect of bedding property and thickness on pipe-soil interaction ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the concrete shear strength (Vc) of the top slab of reinforced concrete (RC) box culverts deeply buried under uniformly distributed loads. Experimental data was used to calibrate the finite-element ...

Abstract: This study reports on a part of a comprehensive study to evaluate the shear capacity of the precast reinforced concrete box culverts. Six full-scale

Abstract: There have been several controversies with regard to the true behavior of reinforced concrete box culverts in recent years. To be able to conduct a parametric study to develop design equations, a complete three-dimensional ...
