Abstract
Details are given of several new finite elements which are especially suitable for use in the analysis of box girder bridges. Results of three model tests are used as a basis for demonstrating the accuracy of the elements. Recommendations are made on the element type and size necessary for the economic and accurate analysis of box girder bridges. /Author/
