Analysis of Box Culvert with Different Aspect Ratio
Abstract: Box culverts are the default buried structure type, where pipe solutions are not suitable. Their larger openings are often required to provide adequate hydraulic capacity. Box culverts are also frequently used for pedestrian or cattle underpasses. The reinforcement used in concrete box culverts can be either conventional bar reinforcement or welded wire fabric. Welded wire fabric has yield strength slightly larger than conventional bar reinforcement. Standard designs for precast concrete …

ASSESSMENT OF FOUNDATION SIZE AND REINFORCEMENT USED FOR FOUNDATION BASE OF PIER FOR STEEL GIRDER RAILWAY BRIDGE.
Abstract: The analysis of foundation size and reinforcement is conducted with respect to the overall load exerted on the foundation base. This includes considering the load imposed by trains, the weight of the girder, and the pier. To ensure the structural integrity and stability of the foundation base, M25 grade concrete and Fe 500 grade steel are utilized. In order to counteract bending forces, 20 φ diameter steel bars are incorporated …
