DEVELOPMENTS IN BOXBEAM BRIDGE DECKS

The evolution of the design and construction of concrete boxbeam bridge decks is briefly reviewed. In the period between the 1950's to the late 1970's the structural form of box sections has evolved towards the simple, single-cell, thin-walled type. Methods of structural analysis have also been simplified and much smaller computer capacities can be used for the more commonly occurring forms of boxbeam bridge. Neither of these simplifications has resulted in limitations being placed on the maximum feasible size of structure. (TRRL)
