Live Load Distribution on Braced Curved I‐Girders
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 3
Abstract
The live load distribution on single and continuous curved composite I‐girder bridges is examined by use of a 3‐D space frame formulation. Influences of bottom lateral bracing is considered in the load redistribution and appropriate design equations are presented for use in conjunction with grid solutions or preliminary designs.
