Influence of filling properties and culvert structure parameters on the soil arching effect of upper-buried-type culverts

A high fill load may lead to several defects in culvert structures. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately calculate the earth pressure at the top of a culvert and the coefficient of earth pressure in fillings. In this paper, a numerical model is proposed to accurately calculate the earth pressure...
