STUDY ON BOX CULVERT SOIL INTERACTION

The objective of this paper is to identify behaviour of box culvert with interaction of soil and without interaction soil. when it is analyzed with finite element method for soil interaction and stiffness method for soil without soil interaction.The box culverts are analysed as per the maximum bending moments and shear force values under climatic conditions and the loads acting on the box culvert. Box culvert is generally used to pass the water under it and also simultaneously used for the transportation purpose. The box culverts required loadings are extracted from according to IRC codes.
