Girder Bridges, (BMRC)Abstract
Parametric study of box girder bridges using finite element method is described in this paper . The parameters of box girder bridges considered in this study are radius of curvature, span length, span length to the radius of curvature ratio and number of boxes. The various responses parameters considered are the longitudinal stress at the top and bottom, shear, torsion, moment, deflection and fundamental frequency. Numerical analysis carried out by Gupta et al. (2010) is used for validation of the finite element model. The parametric study is carried out, using 60 bridge models, to investigate the behaviour of box girder bridges. Also, the results obtained from par ametric study are discussed briefly in this paper .
