Abstract:

THIS PAPER CONTAINS A LITERATURE REVIEW OF CERTAIN EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES THAT PERTAIN TO SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION. IT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS: MODEL STUDIES AND FIELD OR FULL-SCALE TESTING. THE REQUIREMENTS THAT GOVERN MODEL STUDIES ARE REVIEWED BRIEFLY, AND EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS ARE PRESENTED. A BRIEF PRESENTATION IS MADE OF SEVERAL STUDIES THAT HAVE USED MODEL ANALYSIS. THEY COVER TOPICS SUCH AS EFFECTS OF SOIL MOISTURE AND DENSITY ON CULVERT DEFLECTION, EFFECTS OF DIFFERENTIAL SOIL COMPACTION ON CULVERT STRESSES, IMPERFECT DITCH METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION, STRESSES ON MULTIPLE PIPE INSTALLATIONS, PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON PIPE, AND SOIL PROPERTIES. THE FIELD STUDY PORTION PRESENTS FIELD STUDIES OF THE IMPERFECT DITCH METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION, FULL-SCALE FAILURE TESTS, AND CERTAIN CANADIAN LARGE PIPE TESTS. A CIRCULAR CULVERT DESIGN METHOD THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT VARIABLES THAT AFFECT CULVERT PERFORMANCE IS ALSO PRESENTED.
