I kind of agree with billy here,its hard to say. MY rule of thumb is if i think a 24" will handle it i put in a minimum of a 36" or more. Theoretically you dont want any running over the road. Theres just no predicting what will happen. If theres some doubt as to what size to get,try getting in touch with you local wcs,or scs people. They should be able to put you in touch with their local engineer who calculates these things. It allways surprises me as to how large they recommend. Just fyi,check around you and see if there is anyone making precast concrete pipe near by. Here at least they will give you the ones that have a slight defect,and thats what i use. they are tough to move around and work with but the make a really good culvert. And another tip,DO NOT pack the tin horn in with rock or gravel,water will run right through it and make it wash more. proper way is to pack it in good with plain clean dirt or clay. Then just add enough rock on ends to slow water hitting the ends of pipe. Loose rock wing dams on ends "should" be five times the width at base than the height. They stay in place by weight.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
