Abstract:Abstract: Based on the finite element analysis method, this paper evaluates the stress and settlement of the base after backfilling a certain expressway culvert, as well as the settlement of the expressway roadbed and pavement and driving safety. The evaluation results show that the scheme of using C20 concrete backfilling the closed culvert is basically feasible and has limited impact on the expressway project, Specific suggestions for culvert backfilling construction are given.
