The concrete culvert that is 15 m long and
shown in the figure represents a plane strain
problem, Its geometry consists of half a hexagon
with a semi-circular opening. A uniformly
distributed loading by (force per unit length) is
applied to the top edge as shown in the figure.
Values of the physical parameters are as follow:
L= 1.0 m
t= 1.0 m (1.0 m strip assumed)
by = 5103 kN/m
E= 2107 kN/m2
= 0.3
You may use any computer program for the purpose of analysis.
