Induced Trench Method of Culvert Installation

R. K. Taylor

The induced trench (imperfect trench) method of culvert installation is used to reduce the loads on a culvert under a high fill. Although the method has been used successfully with concrete pipe under some unusually high fills, the magnitude of the reduction in load achieved by the induced trench has not been clearly established. This research project was initiated to evaluate the settlement ratio and to compare the measured loads acting on the culvert with theoretical loads. Such an evaluation would be useful for establishing design criteria for this type of construction. The report includes a description of the construction and instrumentation of a 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe culvert installed by the induced trench method. (Author)
