This software is an effective and user friendly tool for three dimensional model generation, analysis and multi material design. The aim of this project is to model and analyse the box culvert using STAAD PRO software. Relevant IRC Codes are required to be referred in the analysis and design of box culverts. The structural design involves consideration of load cases (box empty, full, surcharge loads etc.) and factors like live load, effective width, braking force, dispersal of load through fill, impact factor, coefficient of earth pressure etc. The cushion depends on road profile at the culvert location. are decided by hydraulic considerations and site conditions. Since culvert pass through the earthen embankment, these are subjected to same traffic loads as the road carries and therefore, required to be designed for such loads. These can be constructed with different material such as masonry (brick, stone etc) or reinforced cement concrete. Culverts can be of different shapes such as arch, slab and box. The culverts are also required to balance the flood water on both sides of earth embankment to reduce flood level on one side of road thereby decreasing the water head consequently reducing the flood menace. Box Culverts are required to be provided under earth embankment for crossing of water course like streams, Nallas across the embankment as road embankment cannot be allowed to obstruct the natural water way.
