INTRODUCTION

A culvert acts as a conduit guiding water around impediments or


towards underground water passages. Often integrated into the terrain, it
is enveloped by soil and can be fashioned from materials such as pipes,
reinforced concrete, or alternative elements.
\ This construction ensures
the efficient flow of water, circumventing obstacles and seamlessly
merging with the natural environment. Its design allows for the
unimpeded movement of water, playing a vital role in managing
drainage and safeguarding the integrity of subterranean waterways.

IMPORTANCE OF CULVERT IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

Culverts are vital in highway construction for effective water management.


They prevent flooding, erosion, and ensure
\ safe road conditions. By
channeling water away from the roadway, culverts contribute to the longevity,
safety, and environmental sustainability of highways.
TYPES OF CULVERT

There are several types of culverts

1. Box Culvert
2. Pipe Culvert \
3. Arch Culvert
4. Bridge Culvert
\
USES OF BOX CULVERT

Box culverts serve various purposes, such as managing drainage, creating


tunnels, providing storage, facilitating material handling, and functioning as
bridges. They are versatile structures that can accommodate both pedestrian
and vehicular traffic.

\
Construction process of a Box Culvert

1. Site Preparation
2. Foundation
3. Form work
4. Reinforcement
5. Concrete Pouring
6. Curing \
7. Backfilling
8. Surface finishing
1. Site Preparation : Clear the construction area and ensure proper
drainage. Excavate the ground to the required depth and width for
the culvert.

\
2. Foundation: Create a stable foundation by leveling and
compacting the excavated area. Depending on soil conditions.

\
3. Formwork: Construct forms to define the shape of the culvert. These
forms will serve as molds for pouring concrete. Ensure they are strong,
well-supported, and accurately aligned.

\
4.Reinforcement: Install steel reinforcement bars inside the
formwork to reinforce the concrete structure.

\
5. Concrete Pouring: Pour concrete into the formwork, ensuring it completely
fills the space.

\
6. Curing: Allow the concrete to cure properly. This involves maintaining
the right temperature and moisture levels to ensure the concrete gains
strength and durability.

\
7. Backfilling: Once the concrete has cured, backfill the surrounding area
with soil or other approved materials. This provides additional support to
the culvert structure.

\
8.Surface Finishing : Finish the exposed surfaces of the culvert to
ensure a smooth and durable finish.

\
Some important component of Box Culvert:

1. RETURN WALL
2. CURTAIN WALL
3. HAUNCH
4. SHEAR KEY
5. CRASH BARRIER
6. APRON
7. WEEP HOLE
1. RETURN WALL : A wall is a solid vertical structure made of materials like bricks
or concrete, designed to divide or enclose spaces, provide support, or act as a
barrier.

2. CURTAIN WALL: A curtain wall in a box culvert is like a protective barrier on the
sides of the culvert. It helps support the structure, prevents soil erosion, and keeps
the area around the culvert secure.

3. HUNCH: In a box culvert, the haunch refers to the sloping part between the bottom
and sides of the structure. It helps distribute weight and strengthen the culvert,
supporting the roadway above.

4. SHEAR KEY: A shear key in a box culvert is like a connection groove that helps
prevent the different parts of the culvert from sliding past each other during an
earthquake or other forces. It's a safety feature to keep the structure stable.
6. CRASH BARRIER: A crash barrier in a box culvert is like a protective barrier,
similar to a guardrail on a road. It helps prevent accidents by guiding vehicles safely
and avoiding damage to the culvert structure. It's there to absorb impact and keep
things secure.

7. APRON: An apron in a box culvert is a protective layer of concrete placed


downstream to prevent erosion and scouring. It helps to maintain the stability of the
culvert by redirecting water flow and preventing soil erosion around the structure.

8. WEEP HOLE : A weep hole in a box culvert is like a small opening that allows
water to drain out. It helps prevent water buildup inside the culvert, which could
otherwise cause problems like flooding or damage.

CONCLUSION
In our professional practice, we learned hands-on by gaining
practical knowledge, developing new skills, and interacting
with industry professionals. Recently, we focused on
understanding various culvert types and their benefits, along
with honing skills in reading drawings
