Moreparticularly, this invention pertains to an innovative use of mineral soil (clay, silt, sand,

gravel, cobbles, boulders, broken rock, ice or mixtures of any or all of the foregoing),concrete or wood abutments and metal such as steel, and in some cases geosynthetics,to construct an open bottom box culvert structure which can be erected over a stream orcreek and enable vehicular loads and other infrastructure to cross the stream or creek.An open bottom box culvert comprising a pair of abutments spatially positioned fromeach other, at least one corrugated steel plate spanning the top portions of the twospatially positioned abutments, at least one shear connector positioned above thecorrugated steel plate and connected thereto, and compacted soil disposed above andon each exterior side of the pair of abutments, the corrugated steel plate and at leastone shear connector.
