Modelling of a Box Culvert using Sap2000 with detailed calculations by Prof Thishan Jayasinghe

[@harshanadissanayake3890]

Dear Sir, This is a very valuable lecture. Thank you for uploading this lecture. Sir I have a question, which values in sap model should be taken to calculate the reinforcement design? In Sap model, at the edges of the culvert show higher values but it concentrates only within the small area.. Should we take such values for find the reinforcement?

For reinforcement design, do not rely solely on peak values at small areas (e.g., the edge of the culvert) unless these represent a critical region with expected high stresses. Consider using averaged or smoothed values from the SAP model and select reinforcement based on these more representative values.
