In my opinion, the most suitable software for design of box culverts and all other structures in which inplane forces act, is STRAP. Because only STRAP considers inplane shell forces and design reinforcement for this. All other software ignore inplane forces. Therefore, design of box culerts, Overhead Water Tanks, shells structures, concave or convex slabs etc must be designed on software that considers inplane shell forces during design of reinforcement.
