Corrugated Culvert Structure Plate

The significance of the construction of corrugated steel small bridge and culvert

1. Social benefit: relieving overcapacity pressure of iron and steel. The corrugated steel small bridge and culvert,after nearly ten years of popularization and application,only accounts for about 5% of the total culvert. If 50% culverts adopt corrugated steel structure each year, about 5 million tons of steel can be consumed.
2. Economic benefits: it can save 10~30% than masonry structure, The construction is simple and quick,and the construction period is only 1/3 of the concrete structure.
3. Environmental benefits: 100% recycled steel can be used to build a green transportation project.
   The metal bridge and culverts were first born in Britain in 1784.
   In 1896 the United States first carried out a feasibility study of corrugated steel culvert, channel, and for the first time applied to highway culvert.
   In 1923, the American Railway Engineering Association conducted a test of a corrugated steel plate in the central railway of Illinois.
