3. A reinforced concrete box culvert of prismatic form with a clear vent- way of 3.5 by 3.5 m is required for a road crossing. The box culvert has to support a super imposed dead load of 8 kN/m2, and a live load of 50 kN/m². Density of the soil is 18 kN/m³, and the angle of repose of the soil is 30°. Adopting M-20 grade concrete and Fe-415 grade tor steel, design the box culvert and sketch the details of reinforcements in the box culvert.
