LIVE LOAD DISTRIBUTION ON BRACED CURVED I-GIRDERS

The live load distribution on single and continuous curved composite I-girder bridges is examined by use of a three-dimensional space frame formulation. Influences of bottom lateral bracing is considered in the load redistribution and appropriate design equations are presented for use in conjunction with grid solutions or preliminary designs.
