Precast concrete products - Box culverts
This standard deals with both large (structural) and small (non-structural or light structural) box culverts of rectangular cross-section formed monolithically and designed as continuous elements with a joint detail shaped to allow the possible incorporation of sealing materials. Box culverts can be used for creation of voids below ground for conveyance and storage of materials. e.g. conveyance and storage of wastewater, cable tunnels and subways
For the purposes of this standard, box culverts having internal cross-sectional dimensions (W and H in Figure 1) less than or equal to 1 250 mm should be considered as small (non-structural or light structural). All other units should be defined as large. The elements are generally manufactured in factories using either normal weight or lightweight concrete and usually require reinforcing steel. This standard does not include units manufactured from autoclaved aerated concrete, nor prefabricated reinforced box culverts of lightweight concrete with open structure.
Each unit is structurally complete. They are used in combination to form a total structure of appropriate length (including joints) and capacity.
Betonfertigteile - Hohlkastenelemente
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt sowohl große (tragende) als auch kleine (nicht tragende oder eine geringe Tragfähigkeit aufweisende) Hohlkastenelemente mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, die monolithisch hergestellt werden und als aneinander gereihte Elemente mit einer Fugenausbildung entworfen sind, wobei die Fuge so geformt ist, dass Dichtstoffe eingebracht werden können. Hohlkastenelemente können dazu verwendet werden, unterirdische Hohlräume zu schaffen, die für den Transport oder die Lagerung von Materialien, z.B. für den Transport und Lagerung von Abwasser, als Kabelkanäle oder als Unterführungen, genutzt werden.
Für die Anwendung dieser Norm sollten Hohlkastenelemente mit Innenquerschnittsmaßen (W und H in Bild 1) ? 1 250 mm als klein (nicht tragend oder eine geringe Tragfähigkeit aufweisend) angesehen werden. Sämtliche anderen Elemente sollten als groß definiert werden. Im Allgemeinen werden die Elemente in Werken aus Normal oder Leichtbeton hergestellt und erfordern meist eine Betonstahlbewehrung. Die vorliegende Norm behandelt weder Elemente, die aus Porenbeton hergestellt werden, noch vorgefertigte Hohlkastenelemente aus Leichtbeton mit offenem Gefüge.
Alle Elemente sind in statisch konstruktiver Hinsicht vollständig ausgebildet. Sie werden aneinander gereiht eingesetzt, so dass sich eine Gesamtkonstruktion passender Länge (einschließlich Fugen) und Tragfähigkeit ergibt.

EN 14844:2006 (E) 4 Foreword This European Standard (EN 14844:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 229 “Precast concrete products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2009. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). This European Standard was examined by and agreed with a joint working party appointed by the Liaison Group CEN/TC 229 – TC 250, particularly for its compatibility with structural Eurocodes. This standard is one of a series of product standards for precast concrete products. For common aspects reference is made to EN 13369, Common rules for precast concrete products, from which also the relevant requirements of the EN 206-1, Concrete – Part 1: Specification, performance, production and conformity are taken. The references to EN 13369:2004 by CEN/TC 229 product standards are intended to make them homogeneous and to avoid repetitions of similar requirements. Eurocodes are taken as a common reference for design aspects. The installation of some structural precast concrete products is dealt with by ENV 13670-1: Execution of concrete structures – Part 1: Common rules, which has at the moment the status of a European Prestandard. In all countries it can be accompanied by alternatives for national application and it should not be treated as a European Standard. The programme of standards for structural precast concrete products comprises the following standards, in some cases consisting of several parts: EN 1168, Precast concrete products – Hollow core slabs EN 12794, Precast concrete products – Foundation piles EN 12843, Precast concrete products – Masts and poles EN 13225, Precast concrete products – Linear structural elements EN 13693, Precast concrete products – Special roof elements EN 13747, Precast concrete products – Floor plates for floor systems EN 13978, Precast concrete products – Precast concrete garages EN 13224, Precast concrete products – Ribbed floor elements prEN 14843, Precast concrete products – Stairs EN 14844, Precast concrete products – Box culverts prEN 14991, Precast concrete products – Foundation elements

Where, in default of applicability conditions of EN Eurocodes to the works of destination, design provisions other than EN Eurocodes are used for mechanical strength, the conditions to affix CE marking to the product are described in ZA.3.4. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European Standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 14844:2006 (E) 6 Introduction The Construction Products Directive sets out Essential Requirements to be considered, depending upon the use made of the product. For box culverts it was mandated that the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability should be considered. For these requirements this standard will mainly refer to clauses of EN 1992-1-1, Eurocode 2, Design of concrete structures, Part 1-1 : General rules and rules for buildings. The mandate also requires consideration of durability, from the point of view of freeze thaw action and corrosion, which is also addressed by the Eurocodes referred to above. The numbering of clauses is strictly related to EN 13369:2004: Common rules for precast concrete products, at least for the first three digits. When a clause of EN 13369:2004 is not relevant or included in a more general reference of this standard, its number is omitted and this may result in a gap on numbering.
EN 14844:2006 (E) 7 1 Scope This standard deals with both large (structural) and small (non-structural or light structural) box culverts of rectangular cross-section formed monolithically and designed as continuous elements with a joint detail shaped to allow the possible incorporation of sealing materials. Box culverts can be used for creation of voids below ground for conveyance and storage of materials. e.g. conveyance and storage of wastewater, cable tunnels and subways For the purposes of this standard, box culverts having internal cross-sectional dimensions (W and H in Figure 1) less than or equal to 1 250 mm should be considered as small (non-structural or light structural). All other units should be defined as large. The elements are generally manufactured in factories using either normal weight or lightweight concrete and usually require reinforcing steel. This standard does not include units manufactured from autoclaved aerated concrete, nor prefabricated reinforced box culverts of lightweight concrete with open structure. Each unit is structurally complete. They are used in combination to form a total structure of appropriate length (including joints) and capacity. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 14844:2006 (E) 15 Annex A (informative)
Additional information for the design of box culverts A.1 Characteristic horizontal load Maximum and minimum horizontal loads from fill pressure should be assessed by the principles of soil mechanics. It should take into account the type of fill, the method of installation of the culvert, the backfilling and possible presence of groundwater. A.2 Reinforcement of inner wall faces Even when analysis indicates that there is no tension in a face, minimum reinforcement being not less than the minimum reinforcement of EN 1992-1–2 should be provided. It should be able to resist an ultimate bending moment of 0,8 3eH kNm/m (where He is the effective span of the wall in metres) but should be not less than the minimum reinforcement required by EN 1992-1-2. This does not apply, however, to the corner splays of culverts or to the inner wall faces of culverts less than 500 mm in internal depth. A.3 Stability Considerations of stability such as allowable bearing pressure and resistance to sliding or overturning may not influence the design of culvert strength and they are not within the scope of this standard. It may be assumed that, if any such investigations are considered to be necessary, they will be undertaken by the engineer responsible for the works that incorporate the box culverts. A.4 Horizontal surface loads It may be assumed that any horizontal loads due to surface traffic will be safely dispersed through a road slab or other surface without effect upon the box culvert. A.5 Deflection of roof slab It is not usually necessary to check the deflection of the roof slab. If however the fill depth is less than the minimum recommended below and an assessment to live load deflection is required, it will be sufficiently accurate to assume that: midspan deflection 3r2eLtMW20=
