Finite Element Analysis of the Soil Pressure in Sandy Soil at the Top of Pipe Culvert

Article Preview

Abstract:

ANSYS is an engineering analysis software with a multiple analysis ability.It can be used to solve the structure, fluid, electric, electromagnetic fields and collision problems and so on.So it has been widely used in varied fields.Circular culvert is commonly used for water hydraulic structure in hydraulic engineering.The paper focuses on the study of culvert soil pressure at the top of the circle under the sand in the northern of China by using the Ansys finite element analysis software.Research shows that:When the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio changes,the soil pressure distribution shape doesn’t obviously change;While the soil pressure and the relative height of precipitation have a certain relationship with the two indicators.
