AASHTO Bridge Design Section 12 C12.7.2.1 - commentary
Steel-reinforced thermoplastic culverts are pipe sections in which the main load-carrying members are steel ribs encapsulated by thermoplastic material that may brace the ribs from distortion and buckling. This composite system should be evaluated independently for each manufacturer’s pipe system. Designers should obtain the required mechanical properties directly from the pipe manufacturer to determine fill heights. g(emphasis added)

AASHTO Bridge Design Section 12 C12.7.2.7 - commentary
While the steel ribs are the main load carrying member of the culvert, the thermoplastic profile braces the steel ribs from distortion or buckling under load is critical to the pipe performance. The liner also serves to distribute the load between ribs. A structural evaluation of the profile alone is not required. However, an evaluation of the composite system of thermoplastic liner and steel rib is necessary. It is important to assure that the tensile strains within the profile do not exceed the long-term strain capacity for the thermoplastic material used in the construction of the pipe.p p(emphasis added)
