ASTM A 964/A 964M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Corrugated Steel Box Culverts
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2003
Scope:
This specification covers material, geometric, and wall section
properties of steel box culverts
manufactured from corrugated plate or sheet, with or without attached
stiffeners, for field
assembly. Appropriate fasteners and optional materials such as steel
invert plates and headwalls
are also described. Applications for steel box culverts include
conduits for gravity flow drainage
of surface water such as culverts and storm drains, as well as for
small bridges and grade
separation structures such as pedestrian or vehicular underpasses, and
utility tunnels.
This specification does not include requirements for foundations,
backfill, or the relationship
between earth cover or live loads and strength requirements. These
important design considerations
are described in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications,
Customary U.S. Units (LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications, SI Units).
This specification does not include requirements for the hydraulic
design of these structures.
Hydraulic design, placement of footings or inverts, and end treatments
to resist scour are
described in FHWA HDS No. 5.
Appendix X1 lists nominal dimensions of box culvert sizes commonly
available. Also listed are
cross-sectional area and hydraulic design parameters for these sizes.
Appendix X2 lists manufacturers' suggested design properties for the
box culvert types described in
this specification, and for the spacing classes and material
thicknesses typically available.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be
regarded separately as standard.
Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated
in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the
other. Combining values from
the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
