Membrane Forces Acting on a Box Girder Bridge
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 8
Abstract
Simple strength of material relationships are used to determine the membrane forces acting on a symmetrically loaded concrete or steel box girder bridge. The longitudinal membrane force is found by treating the box girder as a beam. The membrane shear force is found by differentiating with respect to x (longitudinal direction) and integrating with respect to y (transverse direction). The transverse membrane force is found by further differentiating with respect to x and integrating with respect to y. A numerical example shows how the equations derived can be applied to a practical example.
