RIGID PIPE PROOF TESTING UNDER EXCESS OVERFILLS WITH VARYING BACKFILL PARAMETERS: SECTION V (VOLUME 10)--NEUTRAL POINT ANALYSIS OUTPUT: QUASI-THEORETICAL WALL DISPLACEMENTS, WITH EXPERIMENTAL DISPLACEMENTS

The neutral point analysis described in Section V (Volume 1) was employed to determine quasi-theoretical displacements of the inner periphery of the walls of the Cross Canyon, reinforced concrete culvert, using normal and tangential tractions modified to satisfy equilibrium considerations. Experimental values of wall displacements at the pipe's octant points, based on measurements with an extensometer, are included for comparison. (FHWA)
