New Guide for Resilience-Based Design of Culverts Exposed to Flood Events
1. Scope
The serviceability of culverts is critical to maintain the functionality and safety of roadways. This guide provides a framework, including best practices, mitigation measures, and design checks, to enhance the resilience of these systems when exposed to flood events. This guide also provides terminology for the covered approaches.
Keywords
Resilience; culvert pipe; storm drain pipe; flood.
Rationale
The increased intensity of flood events in the U.S. has highlighted the need to develop a rational approach to design culverts for resilience to flooding.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
