A FEATURE SURVEY OF CONCRETE BOX SPINE-BEAM BRIDGES
A DETAILED EXAMINATION HAS BEEN MADE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF 173 BRIDGES BUILT IN THE LAST 15 YEARS WITH A VIEW TO MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE INITIAL PROPORTIONING OF SPINE BEAM BRIDGES IN THE FUTURE. DATA ARE PRESENTED IN THE FORM OF GRAPHS AND HISTOGRAMS, WHICH, FOR A PARTICULAR CASE, WILL AID IN THE CHOICE OF THE MOST SUITABLE TYPE OF SECTION AND PROVIDE APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS. CONSIDERATION IS ALSO GIVEN TO ESTIMATING QUANTITIES OF CONCRETE AND STEEL REQUIRED AND A FORMULA IS SUGGESTED FOR CALCULATING THE APPROXIMATE COST OF THE STRUCTURE. DETAILS OF THE BRIDGES, FROM WHICH THIS INFORMATION IS DERIVED, ARE GIVEN IN FULL IN APPENDIXES TO THIS REPORT. THIS WORK WAS UNDERTAKEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH A CIRIA PROJECT ON THE DESIGN OF ELEVATED BRIDGE STRUCTURES. /AUTHOR/
