USES OF BOX CULVERT
\
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.
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
