Durability, Strength, and Analysis of Culverts and Tunneling Machines

摘要

The 11 papers in the report deal with the following areas: some recent developments in field performance of corrugated polyethylene pipe culverts in Ohio; evaluation of metal drainage pipe durability after ten years; abrasion resistance of aluminum culvert based on long-term field performance; corrugated steel plate structures with continuous longitudinal stiffeners: live load research and recommended design features for short-span bridges; comparative evaluation of precast concrete pipe-arch and arch structures; measurements and analyses of compaction effects on a long-span culvert; soil-structure interaction of flexible pipe under pressure; enhancement of membrane action for analysis and design of box culverts; practical geotechnical and engineering properties for tunnel-boring machine performance analysis and prediction; experimental study of buried fiber-reinforced plastic pipe; inelastic flexural stability of corrugations.
