Design and Analysis of Box Culvert and Result Comparison with SAP

Structure which allows cross drainage of water is known as culvert. A culvert close rectangular reinforced concrete structure which consists of three components top and bottom slab with vertical walls is known as box culvert. Box culvert is made of different material such as RCC and masonry. In a box culvert, pipe solution is inappropriate. It is defaulting buried type of structure. In these large openings are required to provide hydraulic capacity. This structure is designed to take vehicle load pedestrian traffic to cross over and to pass water under a road at natural drainage and river crossing. The reinforcement which is used in a concrete box culvert may be conventional bar reinforcement, welded wire fabric. Yield strength of welded wire fabric is larger than conventional bar reinforcement.
