16_DESIGN 01: Estimating Service Life for Steel Pipe in Non-Abrasive Environments

Introduction: Culverts are typically used to divert water from gathering onto roadways by allowing the runoff to flow beneath the street surface. These pipe-like structures are buried underneath roadways and are in contact with the surrounding soil. Particularly, corrugated steel pipe (CSP) culverts are the subject of this study. Problem: An immediate engineering problem that transportation departments are faced...
