ANALYSIS AND TESTS OF SMALL CURVED STEEL GIRDER BRIDGES 5 & 6

THE FABRICATION, INSTRUMENTATION, TESTING, AND ANALYSIS OF TWO SMALL CIRCULAR-ARC STEEL GIRDER BRIDGES IS DESCRIBED. ONE BRIDGE IS A TWO-SPAN CONTINUOUS STRUCTURE WITH MIDSPAN SUPPORTS BEING RADIAL AND END SUPPORTS SKEWED SUCH THAT THE THREE SUPPORT LINES ARE PARALLEL. THE OTHER IS A SIMPLE SPAN STRUCTURE WITH THE SAME SUPPORT CONFIGURATIONS AS THE 2-SPAN. BOTH RADIAL AND NON-RADIAL DIAPHRAGMS ARE CONSIDERED. TEST RESULTS ALONG WITH COMPARABLE THEORETICAL RESULTS ARE REPORTED. /AUTHOR/
