Abstract
Throughout the United States there are millions of culverts that have exceeded their design life. Some of these antique structures were built by stone masons and craftsmen over 100 years ago, while others were installed using common materials that have rusted or crumbled over time. This presentation will address common drainage considerations, the factors that lead to culvert deterioration, and considerations for utilizing rehabilitation methods for long-term service and preservation.
