WHAT IS CULVERT?

 Culvert is a tunnel structure constructed under


roadways or railways to provide cross drainage or to
take electrical or other cables from one side to other.
 The culvert system is totally enclosed by soil or
ground.
MATERIAL FOR CULVERT CONSTRUCTION:

 In most cases concrete culverts are preferred. Concrete culverts may be reinforced or non-reinforced. In
some cases culverts are constructed in site called cast in situ culverts. Precast culverts are also
available. By the combination above materials we can also get composite culvert types.

Culverts are like pipes but very large in size.They are made of many materials like,
• Concrete
• Steel
• Plastic
• Aluminum
• High density polyethylene
LOCATION OF CULVERT:

The location of culverts should be based on economy and usage

• Generally it is recommended that the provision of culverts under roadway or


railway are economical.
• There is no need to construct separate embankment or anything for providing
culverts
• The provide culverts should be perpendicular to the roadway.
• The culverts should be of greater dimensions to allow maximum water level.
• The culvert should be located in such a way that flow should be easily done. It is
possible by providing required gradient
TYPES OF CULVERTS

Following are the types of culverts


generally used in construction:
• Pipe culvert (single or multiple)
• Pipe Arch (single or multiple)
• Box culvert (single or multiple)
• Arch culvert
• Bridge culvert
PIPE CULVERT (SINGLE OR
MULTIPLE)

 Pipe culverts are widely used culverts and rounded in shape.


 The culverts may be of single in number or multiple.
 If single pipe culvert is used then larger diameter culvert is
installed.
 If the width of channel is greater than we will go for multiple
pipe culverts.
 They are suitable for larger flows very well.
 The diameter of pipe culverts ranges from 1 meter to 6m
 These are made of concrete or steel etc...
PIPE ARCH CULVERT (SINGLE OR
MULTIPLE)
 Pipe arch culverts means nothing but they looks like half
circle shaped culverts.

 Pipe arch culverts are suitable for larger water flows but
the flow should be stable.
 Because of arch shape fishes or sewage in the
drainage easily carried to the outlet without stocking
at the inlet or bottom of channel.
 This type of culverts can also be provided in
multiple numbers based on the requirement.
BOX CULVERT(SINGLE OR MULTIPLE)
 Box culverts are in rectangular shape and generally constructed by
concrete

 Reinforcement is also provided in the construction of box culvert


 These are used to dispose rain water. So, these are not useful in the dry
period.
 They can also be used as passages to cross the rail or roadway during
dry periods for animals etc.
 Because of sharp corners these are not suitable for larger velocity.
 Box culverts can also be provided in multiple numbers
ARCH CULVERT:
 Arch culvert is similar to pipe arch culvert.

 But in this case an artificial floor is provided below the arch.

 For narrow passages it is widely used.

 The artificial floor is made of concrete and arch also made of concrete.

 Steel arch culverts are also available but very expensive.


BRIDGE CULVERT:
 Bridge culverts are provided on canals or rivers and also used as

road bridges for vehicles


 For this culverts a foundation is laid under the ground surface

 A series of culverts are laid and pavement surface is laid on top

this series of culverts


 Generally these are rectangular shaped culverts these can
replace the box culverts if artificial floor is not necessary .
