Comparative Studies on Corrugated Metal Culvert Pipes

摘要

The objective of this study was to perform comparative tests to ascertain the controlling geometric and mechanical parameters that govern the structural performance of three types of flexible pipe; namely, spiral corrugated metal pipe, riveted corrugated metal pipe and spot-welded corrugated metal pipe. To accomplish this, a number of different structural tests were performed on representative sections of the three types of pipe: (1) wall strength test, (2) two edge bearing test, (3) short column test, (4) beam test.
