This week, Steve explains the basic load requirement to design a box culvert – Self weight of precast box culvert, vertical weight such as fill as most box culverts are buried and earth pressure.
He briefly explains vehicular, pedestrian loads including braking or tracking load detail.
If you have a query for the Shay Murtagh Precast team email technical@shaymurtagh.co.uk
Question 10 – What loads does a typical box culvert carry?
Next week Steve will discuss: What practical measures can be taken to optimise precast concrete box culvert design?
You can contact the team at technical@shaymurtagh.co.uk where we can assist with your design query.
