SHEAR DISTRIBUTION IN SIMPLY-SUPPORTED CURVED COMPOSITE CELLULAR BRIDGES

Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges are quite often used in modern bridge superstructures with curved alignments. The objective of this study is to conduct a parametric study to examine the effect of key parameters on the shear distribution in this bridge type. Results from testing four simply-supported curved composite three-cell bridge models are used to verify and substantiate the analytical modeling. The data generated from the parametric study are used to deduce expressions for the shear distribution factors for different loading conditions.
