Analysis and Design of Gravity Flow Conduits and Buried Bridges

This book covers the structural analysis and design of buried gravity flow conduits, including traditional pipes, arches, box conduits and buried bridges with spans up to 80 ft (25 m) and greater. The text primarily covers concrete, corrugated metal, and plastic conduits, but is generally applicable to other materials.

List of contents

1. Introduction. 2. Basics of Soil-Conduit Systems. 3. Conduit Materials and Behavior. 4. Soils and Soil Models. 5. Soil-Conduit Interaction. 6. Finite Element Analysis. 7. Structural Design of Soil-Conduit Systems. 8. Installation and Construction Monitoring. 9. Experiences with Conduit Performance.
