Abstract

This article describes the results of finite element analysis of concrete box culvert. The principal stress state of the culvert was studied before and after backfilling, as well as in cases of water-filled and empty, and indicated the value and location of the maximum and minimum principal stresses in the 3D body of the culvert.  In this work we tried to  find the critical stressed elements and critical load combination for box culvert from point of view of principal stresses.
