Hello fellow structural engineers,
I am designing a concrete box culvert extension that is to be connected to an existing concrete culvert. The decking of the culvert will also be subjected to vehicular traffic. I am trying to come up with a solution to connect the new and old culvert. I was going to use dowels, but I was afraid that if the new culvert settles, it would create cracks on the decking. Can somebody help me find a way to analyse this dowel connection?
Thank you,
Chong
