Measurements made on a long span reinforced concrete arch culvert under 7.3 m (24 ft) of silty clay backfill were compared with results from finite-element analyses of the soil-structure system using the CANDE finite-element code. The culvert strains and deflections and the soil pressure on the culvert were measured during construction and during the following 2.5 years at three instrumented cross sections. The CANDE program was modified to account for the effects of concrete creep and shrinkage strains after it was noted that the measured postconstruction culvert deflection and strains increased significantly whereas the measured soil pressure on the culvert remained relatively constant. Good agreement was generally obtained between measured and calculated values of the culvert strain and deflection and the soil pressure during the entire monitoring period after the code was modified.
