I need to install several wooden fence posts on top of a city installed cement box culvert. Whoever originally installed the posts simply set them on top and relied on the rails to support them. I need to know if there is a more durable way to re-inforce the posts. My best idea is to drill a hole through the top of the box culvert (a 3" slab) and install some rebar, then insert the rebar into pre-drilled holes in each post. If you have any suggestions...please send them my way.

I would use a post base like Simpson Strong-Tie's ABU44, which is shown in the first link below. It is anchored with a 5/8" bolt like RFB#5x5, shown in the second link, that is set with epoxy in a 3/4" hole drilled in the concrete. Both these products are available at Home Depot. For added rigidity, I would use 16' top rails, doubling and staggering them the same as the top plate in a wall frame.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/ManualOfWoodworking
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

simpson strong ties. They will probably have a prefab of what you need. They make one that has a "U" shape strap on one side to bolt the 4x4 to and a bar opposite to it that you could put in the block wall and backfill with concrete. Home Depot carried them years ago but i don't know about now. They would be with the deck materials.

i was just about to say, drill holes down into the concrete and holes up into the post. if you use a reinforcing bar with a point on it you could hammer the post down onto it. alternatively bash away a larger section of concrete, and set the post in new wet stuff.
