Figure 1: Measurement of Culvert Properties
* For unsymmetrical structures, structures deflected more than 5% from design shape, or those that show localized distortions require that the actual maximum radius be determined in
those distorted areas as show above. Use two times the actual maximum radius rather than the span in structural design checks. Typically this provides a conservative evaluation of the
structure. Calculate maximum existing top radius by taking measurements around the upper periphery of the culvert using a ruler of length "P" to obtain values of "M". This should be
done at selected stations along length of culvert, particularly at locations with noticeable sag.

Design Dimensions
1. For typical structures, use the actual field measured span for calculations.
2. For unsymmetrical structures or those deflected over 5%:
a. use 2 x the top radius (2 Rt) in lieu of span for calculations.
b. base critical buckling stress calculations on the theoretical design span, reducing the resulting allowable buckling
stress by the appropriate buckling strength reduction factor " f " (NCSPA Design Data Sheet No. 19, Figure B.1.1).
3. For all long span structures (horizontal ellipse, low and high profile arches, inverted pear shapes and pear arches),
as well as other horizontal ellipses, use 2 x actual top radius (2Rt) in all cases.
For typical structures : Design Span = Actual Span "S" (ft) = 16.00

Therefore, fcr = 39.52 ksi
Calculate the Tcap (thrust capacity of the wall) :

Tcap = less of: 2. wall buckling strength = f φ1 φarea φbuckling fcr A = 108.2
3. seam strength = φ2 φseam (seam strength) = 62.3

T(L+IM) = higher value of :

AASHTO minimum cover, "h" (ft) = 2.00

Minimum height of cover above crown "Hmin" (ft) =

φ2 = Resistance Factor for seam strength (Table 12.5.5-1) 0.67

φf = Flexural Resistance Factor (AASHTO 6.5.4.2 or 7.5.4.2) 1.00

Calculate the fcr (critical buckling stress) : (AASHTO LRFD 12.7.2.4)

Calculate the Tcap (thrust capacity of the wall) :

1. wall yield strength = φ1 φarea Fy A = 90.4

Therefore, Tcap = 62.3 k/ft

Calculate the TE (pipe wall thrust due to earth cover) :

Therefore, TE = 8.03 k/ft
