16.4.3 LIVE LOAD* I
a. The live load for each track shall be as determined from Part. 2, Reinforced Concrete Design. The
distribution of the live load to the culvert shall be in accordance with Figure 16-1 and Figure 16-2.

b, No increase in load shall be used for multiple track loadings,
¢. The minimum lateral pressure on the sides of the box shall be calculated using the earth pressure
coefficient determined by Article 16.4.2.
4, ‘The maximum lateral pressures that may be generated on the sides of the box shall be considered in the
design, except that the earth pressure coefficient of Article 16.4.2 need not be applied to live loads. If
the provisions of Article 16.4.2 d are used with respect to dead loads, then they shall be used for the
calculation of maximum pressures from live loads also.
