Preparation of Design Report for Box culvert

1.1 Introduction
Design is presented consistently in SI units; the following apply unless mentioned specifically
otherwise:

1.2 Reference
1 IRC codes /guidelines/special publications
2 MORTH specification
3 Specialised literature as relevant

1.3 Assumption
The following assumptions have been taken while designing the Box
1.Structure is designed for per metre width.
2.On top slab 65mm thick wearing coat is assumed for
SIDL
3.Modulus of subgrade reaction ( Assumed) - 2500
KN/m3
4.Shear value is taken at dist. 0.15m from the face of
the slab
5.In case of load dispersion wearing coat thickness, fill
thickness and top slab thickness is considered
wherever applicable.
6.In case of design sheet under summary of moments,
only magnitude of force has been considered.
7.In case of earth pressure and LL surcharge governing
case out of Normal earth pressure, Fluid pressure
and Normal earth pressure + hydrostatic fluid pressure
is taken.
8.Structure is designed for standard earth pressure
without weep holes.
