GENERAL NOTES:

SPECIFICATION:
Design 1977 AASHTO standard specifications for highways & bridges.
DESIGN LOAD:
Live load MS - 18 (HS 20 - 44)
CONDRETE:
All concrete shall have a minimum compressive strenght in 28 days of f'c = 20.70 mpa (300psi). All exposed corners to be champored 20 min. No construction are to be made except where shown.
When bottom slab is subjected to abrasion, add 25 mm to bottom slab to increase coverage on steel.
STEEL REINFORCEMENT: REINFORCED BOX CULVERT CUTTING LIST
All reinforcing steel to be intermediate (grade 40) ASTM a-615 w/ deformation conforming to ASTM A-305.
GENERAL:
In stating culvert size, give width by height (width first). When height of fill, H=0 the top of surface of the upper slab shall follow the crown of the finished roadway. The box culvert shall be constructed on
a layer of lean concrete 50 mm. minimum thickness. 1
LIVE LOAD DISTRIBUTION REINFORCEMENT:
When there is less than 600 mm. of fill above the slab of culvert, add'l reinforcement transverse to the main reinf. is added to the bottom of the top slab in accordance w/ AASHTO 1,2,3,E.
HEIGHT OF FILL:
Maximum height of fill is 3000 mm above top slab, for height of fill greater than 3000 mm. special design should be done.
