Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide highlights of the most important references related to the development of current guide specifications for the design of straight and curved box-girder bridges. Subjects discussed ...

Abstract: The curvilinear nature of box girder bridges along with their complex deformation patterns and stress fields have led designers to adopt approximate and conservative methods for their analyses and design. Recent literature ...

Abstract: Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges combine excellent torsional stiffness with elegance. While the current design practices in North America recommend few analytical methods for the design of composite ...

Abstract: Composite concrete-steel spread (multispine) box girder bridges remain one of the most common types constructed. Current design practices in North America recommend few analytical methods for the design of such bridges in ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for determining the dynamic impact factors for horizontally curved composite single- or multicell box girder bridges under AASHTO truck loading. The bridges are modeled as three-dimensional ...
