DESIGN OF BOX GIRDERS OF DEFORMABLE CROSS SECTION
A PROCEDURE IS PRESENTED FOR DESIGN OF THE SPACING AND PROPORTIONS OF DIAPHRAGMS IN BOX-GIRDER BRIDGES. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO HOLD TRANSVERSE FLEXURAL DISTORTION STRESSES AND WARPING STRESSES, ARISING FROM DEFORMATION OF THE CROSS SECTION, TO LIMITS THAT ENSURE SAFE PERFORMANCE AND AN ECONOMICAL DESIGN. COMPLEX, REFINED ANALYTIC METHODS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS OF A BOX-GIRDER STRUCTURE OF DEFINED PROPORTIONS LOADED IN A PARTICULAR MANNER. THE PROCEDURE SUPPLEMENTS THESE METHODS BY PROVIDING A CLEAR VIEW OF INTERACTIONS AMONG PROPORTIONS, LOADINGS, AND RESPONSE, AND HELPS THE DESIGNER WORK EFFICIENTLY TOWARD A SATISFACTORY DESIGN. /AUTHOR/
