- Abstract:
-
A numerical model of arch culvert was established and the process of installation of the culvert andconstruction of the embankment were simulated. Then the traffic loads were applied on vertical section of theroad,and parametric studies were carried out to investigate the influence of cycle times, traffic loads and vehi-cle speeds on the dynamic responses of arch culvert. The results show that the arch is the most vulnerablecomponent of the whole culvert under traffic loads. After eight times cycle of traffic loads,the settlement ofroad surface and the vertical earth pressure on the top of culvert tends to be stable.The vertical earth pressureat the top of culvert increases as the traffic loads increase.The vertical earth pressures both at the top and bot-tom of culverts are not sensitive to the variations of the vehicle speeds.
