Abstract
Methods of bridge deck analysis are described, and a special study is made of curved or Skew bridges comprising box girders. These methods use the following numerical techniques; finite difference method, finite element method, combination of finite difference, finite element and finite strip methods. Calculations and hypotheses for each method are briefly described, and some calculation results presented.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
