Abstract
Precast box culverts can be used to quickly solve many challenging drainage problems. This presentation will review how box culverts are specified and designed. Various examples will be used to demonstrate the proper installation techniques and multiple applications for a successful project. Topics will include standard specifications; considerations for live, dead and construction loadings; installation (site preparation, bedding, placement, joint treatment and backfill); and applications (culverts, detention, storm drainage, end treatments, and special fittings).
