We have designed a deep cover (44') box culvert using the Box Car program. The box is 8'x 8' with 12" haunches at the interior corners. Wall thickness was selected to accomodate shear and then vertical reinf. selected for resulting bending. We are calling for a construction joint just above the bottom haunch (bending steel will be continuous thru joint), a peer review is asking for confirmation of shear transfer across the joint. Was wondering if anyone has had to supplement similiar program output before, and how. Otherwise manual check of joint shear friction and/or shear across bending steel presumed most applicable?
