Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Box Sections

Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Box Sections covers the direct design of buried one-cell precast reinforced concrete box sections to convey sewage, industrial wastes, storm water and drainage, as well as to serve as tunnels. The design and analysis method accounts for the interaction between the box sections and soil envelope in calculating loads, pressure distributions, moment, thrust and shear in the box section, as well as a procedure for calculating…
