Abstract: As an innovative steel box girder, the normal stress patterns in the top and bottom plates of a cantilever steel box girder are complex. However, the influence of external and internal struts on the shear lag effect is ...

Abstract: Due to its complex geometry and mechanical behavior, the prestress design of the cable–pylon anchorage zone is difficult to achieve but critical. In this paper, the use of the strut-and-tie model (STM) is evaluated to ...
