ASTM B 864/B 864M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Corrugated Aluminum Box Culverts
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 2000
Scope:
This specification covers material, geometric, and wall section
properties of aluminum box culverts manufactured from corrugated
plate or sheet, with attached rib stiffeners, for field assembly.
Appropriate fasteners and optional materials, such as aluminum
invert plates and headwalls, are also described. Applications for
aluminum 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 Standard Specifications
for Highway Bridges.
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 manufacturer's suggested design properties for
the rib stiffener types, spacing classes, and material thicknesses
described in this specification.
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.
