Corrugated Steel Plate (CSP)

Technology

18
 CSP
Introduction to CSP Technology:
 Innovative construction methods are crucial to delivering a quality product that meets various
criteria such as capital cost, lifecycle, operational cost, and time expectations, alongside
satisfying client requirements.
 Corrugated Steel Plate Structures (CSP) offer a potential solution, functioning on an
innovative soil steel composite structure approach.

Advantages:
 Fast construction of culverts and underpasses, typically time-consuming portions of highway
construction, necessitates innovative approaches.
 The primary advantages driving the adoption of CSP structures include rapid implementation
and low construction costs.

Construction Process:
 Multiple corrugated steel plates are assembled onsite to form a steel arch covered with soil,
capable of supporting various loads.
 The plates are made of virgin steel, galvanized after corrugating, punching, and bending,
ensuring durability and environmental friendliness.
 Construction involves bolt and nut assembly, enabling quick and efficient installation without
disrupting onsite traffic.

Environmental Benefits:
 The technology is environmentally friendly, with structures being recyclable at the end of their
service life.

International Standard and Usage:

 CSP technology adheres to international standards and is widely utilized in countries like
South Korea, Canada, the USA, and Europe
 AASHTO, LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials.
 AASHTO, Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials

 CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR ALTERNATIVE DESIGN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CUT AND COVER
STRUCTURES IN AOR OF PROJECT ARUNANK (BRO)

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
 The first Cut and Cover proposal presented a complete circular geometry in CSP (corrugated steel
plate) material to the Border Road Organization.
 The project site's location posed significant challenges for conventional structure types;
therefore, our team proposed a comprehensive segmental CSP circular ring to address the issues
associated with cast-in-situ structures.
 CSP Circular Geometry emerged as the optimal solution for this project because CSP segments are
fabricated in a controlled environment at the mill, ensuring the finished product meets the exact
mechanical properties of steel and specifications of the designed geometry.
 Well-compacted granular material was proposed around the structure as backfill. The stiffness of
the CSP structure and backfill work together to resist the forces acting on the structure.
 SOFiSTik FEM analysis software was employed for structural analysis.
 Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) plays a crucial role in analyzing such structures. In this project, we
utilized the SOFiSTik FEM tool to simulate SSI and calculate the required thickness of the
corrugated steel plate.
