Design of Conduits, Culverts
and Pipes
Tomas Orihuela, P.E.
Overview
The design procedure for conduits, culverts, and
pipes vary due to life cycle considerations, material types used, loading types
applied, and construction methods utilized. This course provides guidance on
applying different types of loading such as (a) internal/external pressure, (b)
vertical and horizontal pressures due to groundwater, surcharge water, and
concentrated live loads, (c) trench earth loading with or without superimposed
fill, and (d) embankment earth loads.
In
this course, the student will review Engineer Manual (EM) 1110-2-2909,
“Engineering and Design – Conduits, Culverts, and Pipes” published by the U.S.
Army Corp of Engineers. This course is most relevant to engineers involved in,
or wishing to gain knowledge on, the design of conduits, culverts, and pipes.
The student must take a
multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions at the end of this course
to earn PDH credits.
