Load Calculation for 3x3 Box Culvert

The document outlines the load calculations for a two-cell 3x3 box culvert, providing input data such as dimensions, soil properties, and load types. It details dead loads from earth fill and pavement, as well as live loads from vehicle traffic, including dynamic load allowances. Additionally, it includes calculations for earth pressure and hydrostatic load on the culvert's side walls and bottom.
