Abstract

Between 2001 and 2002, a 6.4-m(21.0-ft) diameter corrugated steel pipe culvert was erected and buried under a 22.9-m(75.0-ft) highway embankment fill in Meigs County, Ohio. This steel pipe culvert was the first of its kind to be constructed in the southeastern region of Ohio. The culvert structure was selected by the Ohio Department of Transportation over an alternative of a 5 million conventional bridge structure, because it would cost about $3.4 million less. The field performance of the culvert was monitored by measuring the pressure distribution around the pipe, as well as the deflections of the pipe culvert during and after construction. The culvert study also included comparing measured field performance with numerical predictions given by the finite-element computer program CANDE-89. CANDE-89 with the slotted joint option had a limited ability to simulate the actual field behavior of the large-diameter multiplate culvert structure, especially in the earlier stages of construction.

Although it is a regional atlas in scope, covering both sides of the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, in format it is county atlas with views, maps, and advertising directories of the local towns, cities, residences, and businesses along the river. There are 26 double page maps of the Ohio River, plus an index sheet, that are beautifully drawn and colored, as well as numerous maps of towns and cities on the river. The views frequently show the river and river boat traffic, the inside and outside of factories (an inside view of a glass blowing factory is amazing), and farms and residences. There are large fold out maps of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. When taken all together, the effect is stunning.
