Example Exterior Pressure Heads | Applied Loads |
|---|---|
Pressure head = 0 ft The load is triangular, extending from the middle of the bottom slab to the middle of the top slab. |  |
Pressure head = -3.0 ft The load is triangular, and assumes the ground water does not extend up to the top slab. |  |
Pressure head = 3.0 ft The ground water table is above the top of the culvert, therefore the load is trapezoidal. |  |
