Abstract: Load-rating factors are used to evaluate the service life or safety of culverts based on the culvert wall strength and soil cover depth over the culvert. Current culvert load-rating methods have deficiencies in identifying ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of field performance tests of 39 in-service corrugated steel highway culverts in Ohio. The culverts had span lengths varying from

Abstract: A large number of corrugated metal pipe-arch culverts are located under highways. This study investigates the field performance of four existing pipe-arch culverts under static and dynamic loads. Effects of various parameters ...

Abstract: As part of an experimental program, a large number of in-service culverts were tested to investigate the influence of several parameters on field performance of culverts. These parameters included cover depth, load ...
