• Abstract:
  This report discusses geotechnical and material considerations for culvert design and selection. The purpose of this report is to present the ; Wyoming Department of Transportation with information in order to alter, improve, and incorporate changes to their standard road and ; bridge specifications. Research included in this study synthesizes AASHTO, ASTM, State DOT, and NCHRP literature among other ; technical documentation, as well as State DOT surveys that outline important considerations for culvert design. Additional areas of ; research discussed in this report include post-installation inspection of pipe culverts and LRFD culvert design procedures. The report ; concludes with recommendations for changes to WYDOT’s specifications related to selection, design, installation, and inspection of ; culverts.
