Abstract
In our country where the plain part is already occupied, in the near future, the highway construction in mountains zone will become main and then it is expected that a culvert in high embankment will increase in number. On the other hand, if it is taken into consideration that the financial situation of our country in the 21st century becomes still severer, it is necessary to promote cost reduction of public-works further. This paper presents the contents of study on the design and utilization of a new type culvert method, namely RCC culvert that had been developed for the purpose of time-necessary-for-completion shortening, cost-of-construction reduction, and improvement in durability.
