Hi All,
I'm looking for sample design calculation notes on the design of pipe arch (elliptical), and arch shaped culverts in both (or) concrete and steel. I've read the previous topics on box culverts and have a solution formed for this type... However, I'm having difficulty analysing the above shapes with regard to soil loads acting on the structure (because of their shape) and the resulting bending moments and shear forces.
Also, I'm using GSA to model these structures and comfirm my calculations. How would you suggest modelling the soil strucure in open arch and pipe arch culverts.
I'm designing to British Standards but any relevant info would be great. I've searched everywhere online!
Thanks
