| Summary | In order to propose a seismic design method for large scale concrete box culverts over 6.5m width and 5m height, NILIM carried out cyclic loading tests of the culvert models and numerical analyses. The results indicate that seismic behavior of the box culverts depend on structure details intricately, and that it is not simply applicable to the existing design method of piers, girders, and so on. |
