Finite element analysis of skew, curved box-girder bridge

R G Sisodiya, Y.K. Cheung, Amin Ghali

Abstract

BOX-GIRDER BRIDGES HAVING ONE OR TWO SPANS AND WITH CURVED LAYOUT AND SKEW SUPPORTS ARE ANALYZED BY THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD. THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS ARE VERIFIED BY TESTS ON AN ALUMINUM BRIDGE MODEL. THE TYPE OF ELEMENTS USED TO IDEALIZE THE BRIDGE ARE DESCRIBED AND THE EFFECT OF THEIR CHOICE ON THE ACCURACY OF THE ANALYSIS IS DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
