(Specification)Standard Specification for Precast Reinforced Concrete Monolithic Box Sections for Culverts, Storm Drains, and Sewers Designed According to AASHTO LRFD
Standard Specification for Precast Reinforced Concrete Monolithic Box Sections for Culverts, Storm Drains, and Sewers Designed According to AASHTO LRFD
ABSTRACT
This specification covers single-cell precast reinforced concrete box sections cast monolithically and intended to be used for the construction of culverts and for the conveyance of storm water, industrial wastes and sewage. The reinforced concrete shall consist of cementitious materials, mineral aggregates and water, in which steel has been embedded in such a manner that the steel and concrete act together. The precast reinforced concrete box sections shall be produced with tongue and groove ends. The box section shall be cured using any of the following methods or combinations thereof: steam curing; water curing; and membrane curing. Compression tests for determining concrete compressive strength shall be allowed to be made on either standard rodded concrete cylinders or concrete cylinders compacted and cured in like manner as the box sections, or on cores drilled from the box section.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers single-cell precast reinforced concrete box sections cast monolithically and intended to be used for the construction of culverts and for the conveyance of storm water, industrial wastes and sewage.Note 1—This specification is primarily a manufacturing and purchasing specification. However, standard designs per the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are included and the criteria used to develop these designs are given in Appendix X1. The successful performance of this product depends upon the proper selection of the box section, bedding, backfill, and care that the installation conforms to the construction specifications. The purchaser of the precast reinforced concrete box sections specified herein is cautioned that proper correlation of the loading conditions and the field requirements with the box section specified, and provision for inspection at the construction site, are required.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

TABLE 1 Design Requirements for Precast Concrete Box Sections Under Earth, Dead and HL-93 Live Load Conditions
NOTE 1—Design earth loads and reinforcement areas are based on the weight of a column of earth over the width of the box section multiplied by a
soil structure interaction factor as defined in Appendix X1.
NOTE 2—Concrete design strength 5000 psi.
NOTE 3—Steel areas are based on an HL-93 live load without the lane load as permitted by AASHTO, using either the design truck or the design tandem
and taking the controlling case.
NOTE 4—The design earth cover indicated is the height of fill above the top of the box section. Design requirements are based on the material and soil
properties, loading data, and typical section as included in Appendix X1. For alternative or special designs, see 7.2.
NOTE 5—Design steel area in square inches per linear foot of box section at those locations which are indicated on the typical section shown in Fig. 1.
NOTE 6—The top section designation, for example, 3 ft by 2 ft by 4 in. indicates (interior horizontal span in feet) by (interior vertical rise in feet) by
(wall and slab thickness in inches).
NOTE 7—In accordance with the acceptance criteria in 7.2, the manufacturer is not prohibited from interpolating steel area requirements or submitting
independent designs for fill heights between noted increments.
