Purpose Discuss how to improve buried structures’ resilience and sustainability so that they hold up over time, withstand extreme weather events, and minimize the use of natural and financial resources. Learning Objectives At the end of this webinar, you will be able to: • Understand how to improve the resilience and sustainability of buried structures • Understand the components of a checklist to develop and maintain more
sustainable buried structures, which minimize natural resource demands and environmental impacts
• Understand the components of a checklist to develop and maintain resilient structures by mitigating durability, hydraulic, and geotechnical and climate change risks
• Understand when buried structures are viable and appropriate • Identify the span capabilities of buried structures and their installed construction
cost vs. traditional bridges

Presented by TRB Subcommittee AFF70 – Resilient and Sustainable Buried Structures
Many road authorities are recognizing the need for more resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Buried structures constitute a large investment of natural and financial capital and are vitally important to society. This subcommittee’s mission is to develop and communicate knowledge which results in resilient and sustainable buried structures.

At Roy Creek Royston Road a closed-bottom culvert that was past its service life was replaced with an open-bottom fish-stream crossing with vegetated retaining walls, was cost-effective and straightforward to install with conventional construction equipment, sufficiently robust to withstand climate change impacts and provide over 75 years of service life. Related habitat restoration was done as part of this project and throughout the watershed by multi-partner collaborations as part of the rehabilitation of this salmon and trout stream, that began in 1981 by local community members. The new fish-friendly stream crossing is an important component to ensure BC’s wild fisheries are sustained and restored.” Sean Wong, Senior Biologist, BC MoTI

Conclusions • Fatigue due to live loads is not a concern for corrugated HDPE pipes
manufactured with or without PCR materials • Both pipes in the SEPTA test installation are predicted to have a service life in
excess of 100 years • The UCLS test is the basis for a performance-based specification for
corrugated HDPE pipes manufactured with recycled content and is effective at predicting the service life of these pipes relative to Stage II SCG failures
• The UCLS test should be incorporated into specifications for pipes manufactured with recycled materials to assess both the stress crack initiation and propagation phases of the SCG mechanism 75

and Resilient Buried Structures

Material Use • Incorporating recycled materials into
our buried infrastructure will eliminate or reduce the energy used to manufacture the raw materials, and reduce virgin material use.
• Reuse local backfill material when possible. Consider recycled or reclaimed backfill materials.

Waste & Energy Footprint • Incorporate methods to reduce
energy and emissions for transporting buried structures to the jobsite (e.g. – rail vs. truck, nest pipes)
• Incorporate energy-efficient practices for installing buried structures
• Minimize installation time by using quality backfill materials when appropriate

Accommodate Nature • Accommodate nature
when reasonable (e.g.– fish/wildlife passage, stream impacts)
• Avoid the use of materials that will adversely affect water quality (e.g. materials that leach contaminants, etc.).

Resilience • Aim for a 100 year design service life. • Accommodate nature/stream widths
when reasonable to mitigate extreme weather impacts.
• Consider end treatments to reduce piping and/or backfill reinforcement.
• Consider structure shapes less susceptible to backfill loss (e.g. box culvert vs. arch).

Innovation • Maximize Value: Facilitate
innovative designs which maximize resilient and sustainable value.
• Procurement: Consider life cycle efficiencies rather than lowest installed cost.
• Leverage the value of buried structures.
