A box culvert acts as a rigid frame with fixed or pinned corners depending on reinforcement detailing. In Eurocode practice, most in-situ culverts are modelled as due to monolithic casting.
Check shear capacity without shear reinforcement ($V_Rd,c$). Culverts rarely have stirrups (links) in the slabs/walls due to construction complexity; shear is usually resisted by concrete alone. box culvert design calculations eurocode 2021
