Instrumented field test and soil structure interaction of concrete pipe with high fill

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The earth pressure on deeply buried culverts is significantly affected by arching. Both the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on buried culverts depend on the relative stiffness of the culvert and the soil. In this paper instrumentation of field test with the induced trench method is described. The method involves installing a compressive material (expanded polystyrene) above a rigid culvert in order to reduce the vertical earth pressure (create arching).
