From page 1...
... Buried culverts of any shape, size, and material, including corrugated metal, reinforced concrete, and thermoplastic pipe, may be analyzed and designed to withstand dead weight, incremental soil-layer loading, temporary construction loads, and surface loads, due to vehicular traffic. A particularly unique feature of CANDE's output is the automatic evaluation of the structural performance in terms of safety measures against all failure modes (design criteria)

From page 2...
... Engineers, researchers, and designers from state DOTs, consulting firms, manufacturers, universities, and research institutions are encouraged to use CANDE-2007 for all culvert design and analysis problems. CANDE-2007 is a public-domain program.
