 A MICRO PROJECT PROPOSAL (PART A)
TITLE OF THE MICRO PROJEC

“ Types of Culvert “

1.0) Brief Introduction :-

A culvert may act as a bridge for traffic to pass on it. They are typically
found in a natural flow of water and serves the purpose of a bridge or a
current flow controller.

A. Identify the components of culverts.
B. Maintain the types of culverts.
C. Diagnose the condition of bridges.
D. Maintain different types of culverts and their components.

 MICRO PROJECT REPORT (PART – B)
1.0)Brief Description:-
Railway and bridge engineering is an important aspect in civil engineering; as
the progress and integration of any country can be well judged by good network
of railway and bridges. This course is expected to develop the competency to
execute the construction and maintain the permanent way i.e. railway,
associated bridge and culverts. Bridge plays a vital role in better connectivity for
our country during perennial seasons. Bridge engineering involves components
of construction and maintenance of different types of Culverts Bridge across the
country. The tunnel engineering work is also quite crucial as it shortens the
distance of travel .the civil engineering diploma holders (also called
technologists) have to do the related construction and maintenance activities
effectively, as safety is also the prime objective.

2.0) Aim of micro project:-

What is Culvert? Its Types, Materials and Location
Culvert is defined as a tunnel structure constructed under roadways or railways
to provide cross drainage or to take electrical or other cables from one side to
other. It is totally enclosed by soil or ground. Pipe culvert, box culvert and arch
culvert are the common types used under roadways and railways.
The design of culvert is based on hydraulic, water surface elevation, and roadway
height and other conditions. These are used for water flow in a controlled way.

3.0) Course Outcome Integrated :-

Identify the components of culverts.
Maintain the types of culverts.
Diagnose the condition of bridges.
Maintain different types of culverts and their components.
4.0)Actual Procedure followed:-
1) Firstly selecting the topic. Reading 2)
Discussing with subject teacher.
3) Searching the information or data form google.
4) I collect the information about project from Google, Wikipedia,
reference book
5) I studied on this topic and tried to specified the more Information
about Types of Culvert.
6) By this above methodology I worked on my micro project.

5.0)Actual Resources used:-

1. Reference book Give necessary Reading
information

2. Computer and mobile Give extra information ---

6.0) Outputs of the Microprojet:-

Following are the different types of Culvert:
• Pipe culvert (single or multiple)
• Pipe-Arch culvert (single or multiple)
• Box culvert (single or multiple)
• Arch culvert
• Bridge culvert
• Metal box culvert

 Pipe Culvert
Pipe culverts are the most common types of culverts due to competitive price
and easy installation. They are found in different shapes such as circular,
elliptical and pipe arch. Generally, their shapes depend on site conditions and
constraints. Pipe culverts on a small scale represent normal pipes like concrete
pipes.
 Pipe culvert.

Advantages of Pipe Culvert

The main features of pipe culverts are:

• It can be constructed of any desired strength by proper mix design,

thickness, and reinforcement.
• They are economical.
• These pipes can withhold any tensile stresses and compressive stresses.
• The crossing of water is under the structure.

Disadvantages of Pipe Culvert

The main disadvantage of pipe culvert is that it can be easily corroded at the
crown because of bacteria‘s organic matter and release of harmful gas, which
is known as Crown corrosion.
 Pipe-Arch Culvert (Single or Multiple)
Arch culverts are suitable for large waterway opening where fishes can be
provided with a greater hydraulic advantage. Moreover, they provide low
clearance and are definitely, much artistic. Pipe arches are particularly useful for
sites where headroom is limited and also have a hydraulic advantage at low
flows.

Advantages of Pipe-Arch Culvert
The features of pipe arch culverts are:

• Limited headroom condition

• Improved hydraulic capacity at a low flow
• Aesthetic shape and appearance
• Lightweight
• Easy to install

 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.
 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.
• 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.
• It is used in special cases, weak foundation.

 Arch Culvert
An arch culvert is made up of metal, stone masonry, concrete, RCC etc.
Construction does not take a lot of time and unlike box culvert, water diversion
is not necessary, as it can be installed without disturbing the water current. Thus,
it can be termed as a Low Profile Culvert. This type of culvert maintains the
natural integrity of the wash bed.
 Arch culvert.

Advantages of Arch Culvert

The advantages of using arch culverts over traditional box culverts and pipe
culverts are as follows:

• Cost savings
• Accelerated construction schedule
• Greater hydraulic efficiency
• Pleasing aesthetics
• Design-build advantage

 Bridge Culvert
Bridge culverts serve a dual purpose. It acts both as a bridge and a culvert.
Generally, rectangular in shape, bridge culverts are constructed on rivers and
canals. A foundation is laid under the ground level and pavement surface is laid
on top of the series of culverts. Generally, we can term it as a Multi-Purpose
culvert.
 Bridge culvert.

Advantages of Bridge Culvert

Following are the main features of bridge culvert:

• Extension of the network by acting as a repeater

• Very strong
• Allows traffic to pass on it
• Highly strong foundation
• Most expensive river crossings

 Metal Box Culvert

The metal box culvert is the economic alternative of the bridge. These bridges
are manufactured from a standard structural plate or deep-corrugated
structural plate. They are the perfect bridge replacement maintaining the same
road grade level.
 Metal Box Culvert.

Advantages of Metal Box Culvert The

advantages are as follows:

• Durability
• Shorter construction period and easy installation
• Deformation ability
• Long service life

8.0 Skill Developed / Learning outcome of this Micro-Project :-

1. We can understand the importance of group work.

2. We have to learn about how to do presentation.

3. How to developed micro project

9.0 Applications of this Micro-Project

The application of this micro project is used in daily work with student and
teacher. How to make micro project presentation and disusing the benefit of
micropoject what is profitabl e as well as loss be a great disusing. Writing
skill developed, reading skill is also developed.
