Title: DURABILITY OF CORRUGATED METAL CULVERTS (WITH DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE)
Accession Number: 01019161
Record Type: Component
Abstract: To provide data on corrosion and abrasion rates for corrugated pipe, two surveys were conducted--one for steel culverts with 2 to 35 yr of service, and another comparing aluminum and steel culverts installed for up to 4 yr in similar environments. Uncoated steel culverts are performing satisfactorily, being unaffected by properties of normal soil and water, but with significantly greater durability when bituminous coated or coated/paved. Uncoated aluminum culverts are proving durable, indicating no need for such protection. Abrasion was found to be of minor influence. A statistical method for estimating metal loss and a design procedure are presented.
