Bar Bending Schedule for RCC Box Culvert | What is Box Culvert | Advantages of RCC Box Culvert | Box Culvert Quantity Calculation:
In this Article today we will talk about the Bar Bending Schedule for RCC Box Culvert | Box Culvert Quantity Calculation | Advantages of RCC Box Culvert | Box Culvert Estimate | Reinforcement Details of RCC Box Culvert | BBS of Box Culvert
Box culverts are made up of concrete and especially, RCC (Reinforced Concrete). The most challenging part in constructing a box culvert is that dry surface is needed for installing it. However, due to the strength of the concrete floor, water direction can be changed when a large amount of water is expected. This feature makes box culverts, one of the most commonly found types of the culvert. Let’s discuss Bar Bending Schedule for RCC Box Culvert:
Advantages of Box Culvert:
Box Culverts are economical for the reasons mentioned below:
- The box culvert is a rigid frame structure and very simple in construction
- It is Suitable for non-perennial streams where scrub depth is not significant but the soil is weak. Box Culvert Quantity Calculation
- The bottom slab of the box culvert reduces pressure on the soil.
- Box culverts are economical due to their rigidity and monolithic action and separate foundations are not required. Box Culvert Quantity Calculation
- It is used in special cases, weak foundation. Box Culvert Quantity Calculation

Bar Bending Schedule of RCC Box Culvert:
In the reinforcement, there are top slab, bottom slab and outside walls. Box culvert typical section (6×7), where 6 are inside length and 7 is inside height. Top slab has top main bar and bottom main bar. Dots signify distribution bars. Bottom slab has top main bar and bottom main bar. Dots signify distribution bars. There’re outside walls with vertical main bars. Dots indicate distribution bars. Advantages of RCC Box Culvert
