Abstract: The simplified equations available at present to predict the collapse loads of single-cell concrete box-girder bridges with simply supported ends are based on either space truss analogy or collapse mechanisms. Experimental ...

Abstract: In design practice, the transverse bending analysis of box-girder bridges is commonly done by modeling the cross section as a frame of unit width with imaginary supports at the web locations. The transverse bending moments ...

Abstract: Space truss analogy and collapse mechanisms are the theoretical methods which are available at present to predict the collapse loads of single-cell concrete box-girder bridges. It is observed that of the two formulations, ...
