Protect Your Box Culvert from Compaction Box culverts are a common road construction component. They are designed to allow the free passage of water, but sometimes this can result in compaction. The results can be expensive and lead to repair costs and lengthy traffic delays. This article will discuss how you can prevent compaction and dry out your box culvert in the future. There are two maincauses of box culvert compaction. These causes can be reduced or eliminated if you take the proper measures to protect your culverts from them. Truck traffic that passes over the box culverts can cause compaction due to their added weight. When large trucks pass these structures, they crush and compact the earth and can also damage and destroy it in certain conditions and with the wrong
equipment. Water flowing through a box culvert will compress the earth around it, which creates a dry spot or void in between the back wall of the box culvert and the natural soil surrounding it. This void increases with time as more water flows through. This can result in serious damage to the natural soil that is protected by the box culvert. If the void can not be repaired, it may be necessary toreplace it with concrete. There are several ways you can protect your box culverts from these compaction issues. The methods include: The most important thing is to make sure that the flow of water is not blocked for an extended period of time. If there are no signs of flooding or damage on your road, then you do not have a serious problem on your hands. If you are faced with a severe wet area on
your road and you can not fix it, it is important that you know how to access the box culvert and the damage it has sustained. The first step is to determine whether or not the box culvert that has been affected is dry, and if there is water flowing through its open end. If there is water flowing through its open end, this gives you a good indication that it needs to be replaced. If you suspect damage to thebox culvert, there are several options for replacing or repairing it:
Box Culverts frequently Collapse due to Weight Overloads (e.g. large Vehicles, Construction Equipment, Debris) Box culverts typically need to be installed on a slope of approximately 4:1. In this condition the applied lateral pressure on the walls of the structure is equal to the weight of the water in the basin divided by the length of its stream. As a result, it is often seen that box culverts develop aleaning or collapsed condition when over-loaded. Overloading can occur because of a lack of knowledge or awareness about where and how much water is being stored in a particular culvert. Another cause could be inadequate determination of load carrying capacity of various structures, insufficient testing plan to determine load carrying capacity and design parameter for crossings with adequate
slope angle and berms.
