Transportation Research Record, 1975•trid.trb.orgA case history of the failure of a 72-in.(183-cm) cast-in-place, unreinforced concrete conduit
constructed near the toe of a highway embankment is described. Theoretical analysis was
conducted to predict the behavior of the conduit. It was concluded that the conduit had failed
primarily because of the additional lateral load exerted by a 70-ft-high (21.3-m)
embankment. The effectiveness of the theoretical analysis was demonstrated by using
actual conduit failure.
