Abstract: The hydrology and hydraulic calculations has been carried out for the proposed box culvert to
justify the waterway required for the river crossing the alignment. Structural analysis is a process to analyse
a structural system in order to predict the responses of the real structure under the action of expected loading
and external environment during the service life of the structure. The present work reflects on the analysis
and design of bridges which are the main source of human life which helps to travel from place to place. The
modeling and analysis of bridge is carried out by using the software Staad-pro software. The bridge we
designed is box culvert bridge. The design loads are considered as per IRC 6. Box culvert is designed by
using Staad-pro and results are compared manually.
Keywords: Reinforced cement concrete box culvert, hydraulics calculation, cushion loading, earth pressure,
structural design, theoretical calculation, STAAD PRO etc.
I. INTRODUCTION
Box culverts are the structures constructed below highways and railways to provide access to the natural drainage across
them. They are also constructed sometimes to provide the access to the animals to cross the road which is known as animals
crossing, vehicular under pass (VUP) & railway under pass (RUB). The opening of the of the culvert section is designed
based on the loads applied on the culvert.

Culverts are the structures constructed across the drainages below the highway and railways for easy access for animals
and humans. The dimensions of culvert are designed based on waterway. Thickness is adopted based on loads acting on
culvert and span of culvert.
The topography of the land across the country varies widely and conditions may be dissimilar even within the same State,
depending on the annual rainfall and nature of terrain. The hill streams are flashy in nature, which need tall substructures to
span them. The natural streams in plains and rolling terrains are usually wide and need longer superstructures with relatively
shorter substructures. The man made drains both for irrigation and industrial use could be low cost structures such as pipe

III. OBJECTIVE
1. To study the parameter needed for Hydrological study.
2. To study the behavior of box culvert with cushion and without cushion loading.
3. For analysis, the box model is subjected to Dead loads, SIDL, Earth pressures, Surcharge loads on the side walls,
and Live Loads.
4. To study the effect of different load combination which will produce worst effect for safe structural design.
5. To study the steel & concrete quantity require for both cases cushion and without cushion.
IV. PURPOSES
1. To study the effect of cushion over structural.
2. Culvert is a structure which is built over some physical obstacle such as a body of water, valley, or road, and its
purpose is to provide crossing over that obstacle. It is built to be strong enough to safely support its own weight as
well as the weight of anything that should pass over it.To save human life and buildings
3. They easily accommodate both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
4. To compare with & without cushion loading box culvert.
V. METHODOLOGY
5.1. Hydrological Study
For survey, following points are required to be prepared:
Right angle crossing (Proposed location of bridge is 0 degree skew angle)

VII. CONCLUSION
In this paper hydraulics calculation are done.
As per IRC SP : 13 required HFL to Soffit clearance is 0.9m, Hence both cases applicable. Where clearance is
0.9 m maintained there available Cushion height is 3.730 m.
If clearance is 0.9 m not maintained then box culvert height will increase.
With cushion loading box Wall, slab, Raft slab thickness is more as compare to without cushion loading box
culvert.
Without cushion load box culvert is more economical.
Safe baring capacity of box culvert is 8.840 t/m2 which is less than10 t/m2 , so the Box type structure is suitable
for less available safe bearing capacity of soil at site
