Numerical Modeling of Lateral Earth Pressure Acting on Box Culvert under the Ground Deformation

Abstract:

Box culvert affected by mining subsidence is exposed to damage potential in relation to the lateral earth pressure. This study intends to specify and compare different ground deformation by the mining subsidence effect in box culvert. For this purpose, a finite-element software (ANSYS) is used to generate models incorporating the soil and a box culvert. The results shows that the lateral earth pressure of box culvert was related to the way of ground deformation, In addition, the kind of soil also affected the distribution and value of the lateral earth pressure.
