Steel Curved I and Box Girder Design and Analysis

  • Chapter
Analysis and Design of Bridges

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 74))

Abstract

During the past ten years extensive research studies have been undertaken in the area of the design and analysis of curved bridge structures. Such studies were necessitated by increased demands for curved highway alignment and aesthetic considerations. It is therefore the purpose of this paper to present the results of some of these studies and the resulting design specifications.
