This book was released on 2009 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main objective of this study was to evaluate and improve ODOT's current load rating procedures for corrugated metal culverts. This objective is achieved by testing 39 in-service culverts under static and dynamic loads, by evaluating the response of test culverts using available theoretical methods and numerical simulations, and by evaluating and advancing the current analysis tools and load rating methods based on the analytical and experimental evidence generated in this research"--Technical report documentation page
