Abstract :
The culvert is small structures that are required for the under roads and its uses for the crossing
of water like streams under the roads. The culvert structure balances the water flow on both sides of
the roads, also is protecting and balance of the embankment to reduce the water flow level. There are
different types of culverts shapes, and they are circle, arch, Slap & box; therefore, these can be
constructed by using different materials like; stones, bricks, reinforced cement concrete. Since the
culvert crossing under the earthen embankment, so the culvert is subjecting a traffic load similarly as
the roads carry; therefore, they required to be designed for such loads the acting on the surface of the
culvert. This project is dealing with the RCC box culvert with and without cushions. The cushion
depends on the road profile at the culvert location.
