Abstract: This paper presents a time-dependent finite-element analysis of a two I-girder composite bridge with a concrete slab. The creep and shrinkage of the concrete slab are considered as sources of time-dependent behavior. This ...

Abstract: This paper describes the feasibility of 1,400 m steel cable-stayed bridges from both structural and economic viewpoints. Because the weight of a steel girder strongly affects the total cost of the bridge, the writers present ...
