I think I found a minor typo in "Structural Engineering Formulas" by Mikhelson. It results in a larger moment for box culverts so should be conservative if used as is.
I've attached a pdf showing box culvert calcs following a table from Reynold's "Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook" and I checked results against Mikhelson's formulas but found a discrepancy in one of the result. Tested a model in staad and that matched with Reynolds and a correction to Mikhelson's formula (based on K4 and K6 formulas). Feel free to confirm or challenge.
The pdf includes the calcs and the reference material.
Posting here since I've seen Mikhelson's book mentioned here before for anyone who might want to know.
