TRANSVERSE DISTRIBUTION OF LOADS IN BOX GIRDER BRIDGES (VOLUME 7); CORRECTIONS FOR CURVATURE
Volumes 1 through 6 of this series have discussed methods of analysis of straight, reinforced and prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Methods of analysis for structures which are curved in plan will be discussed in this volume. Above certain bounding limits of degree of curvature, a simple correction factor, R sub i/R, may be applied to the influence coefficients for straight bridges of comparable dimensions. Below these limits, the CURDI program should be used. (FHWA)
