Talk:Culvert

Added new culvert
I have been researching culverts and have added the Arroyo Monterroso culvert due to it’s confirmation of the largest Box culvert in the world.

Please feel free to shorten the captioning under the photo in the future To make it neat. _________________________________________________________________________________ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekecdnkoewihdouuepiw (talk • contribs) 10:08, 2 November 2020 (UTC)  Ekecdnkoewihdouuepiw (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2020 (UTC) ==Removed== Removed "The Rise and Fall of the Nepalese Culvert" because I assume it was a joke.

Accidents
I'm not sure what merit there is in discussion specific culvert accidents, I suspect that they are too numerous. If we're indeed compiling a list of them, this is a significant accident from the Albany, New York, USA area: http://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/Record-Rainfall-Destroys-Section-of-New-Yorks-I-88/7191/ MacIomhair (talk) 03:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Example of a Culvert failing in England (after heavy rains)
Can someone try and include this article in this topic as well as a link. It is an example of culvert failing... It happened as a result of heavy rains in England (2012). Dramatic pictures!

Why the comparison to bridges?
I came to this page to learn about the difference between pipes and culverts, but the article focuses on the difference between culverts and bridges, though the explanation ("Culverts differ from bridges mainly in size and construction") does not make sense. The bridge article that is linked talks about culvert only in one place in passing, so the connection is unclear. BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 00:16, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, let's try this: A culvert carries water through an embankment that supports a road, railroad, or other structure. A pipe is a tubular structure used to convey liquid. Culverts smaller than about 3 m/ 10 ft in diameter are often constructed with pipes. Pipes are also used to build drain systems, connecting curb inlets and catch basins and carrying stormwater from streets and parking lots to outfalls at streams, lakes or other water bodies. These are not usually considered culverts. Does that help?


 * If other people are also confused, it's probably worth clarifying this in the article.--Triskele Jim 15:57, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you! So what are larger culverts constructed with? Also, how about bridges; is a bridge just a water-carrying structure that goes over a road instead of under a road? --BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 22:39, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I finally came to the conclusion that "bridge" is not a technical term for a culvert-like structure and rewrote the opening. I also rewrote the "types" section to clarify how culverts can be used in a bridge-like fashion. I hope it is correct. --BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 21:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

"If the span of a crossing is greater than 12 feet (3.7 m), then the structure is termed a bridge"
In most states in Australia, the threshold is 2.5 metres, because that is the widest structure that can be carried on a standard heavy vehicle without having to do "wide load" precautions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E448:D401:D66:C72:F763:CA50 (talk) 08:56, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
