Mosley DESIGN WING WALL
Bungey Wing walls prevent scour effects, soil erosion, retains the embarkment
Hulse and directs water flow. Earth pressures from the back fill material,
surcharge pressure from live load or compacting machine and
hydraulic loads from saturated seal conditions are all design
considerations. Also to be considered in the design of wing wall is the
lateral earth and surcharge pressure factors.
Lateral earth pressure factor = 1.35
The horizontal force (F) due to earth pressure is given by:

SCOUR APRON SLAB DESIGN 2000
The scour apron is usually at the base of the inlet and outlet of the
culvert and it is design to protect and prevent the culvert from scour,
storm damage and erosion damage of the base apron
