The Structural Engineer, Volume 50, Issue 7, 1972
In this study single cell box girder bridges are examined in detail by means of finite element analysis. Realistic loading and support restraints are considered and the effects of shear lag, diaphragms, eccentric stiffeners and varying geometric properties are examined. The analysis uses triangular elements with eccentric stiffeners and can be used for stiffened plates as well as the three dimensional box-type structures considered.
Mr. A. J. Harris (F): May I open the discussion by applauding this document and the labours of Mr. Creasy and his Committee. It is an important document, and it is a sound one.
Author's reply: I am grateful to Mr. Rajagopalan for his comments which bring out a number of important points which for reasons of brevity were not made in my paper.
