STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF A REINFORCED CONCRETE BOX GIRDER BRIDGE

THE CONSTRUCTION INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING OF A LARGE, REINFORCED BOX GIRDER MODEL ARE DESCRIBED. THE SYSTEM OF DATA ACQUISITION AND METHODS OF DATA REDUCTION ARE TREATED, AND PERTINENT DATA FROM IMPORTANT LOADING CASES DEALING WITH DEFLECTIONS, LONGITUDINAL MOMENTS AT THE INSTRUMENTED SECTIONS, AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE MOMENTS AMONG THE GIRDERS ARE TABULATED. COMPARISONS ARE MADE WITH RESULTS OBTAINED FROM AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE FOLDED PLATE EQUATIONS, AND GENERAL CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN FROM THE RESULTS. /AUTHOR/
