SOME FINITE ELEMENTS HAVING PARTICULAR APPLICATION TO BOX GIRDER BRIDGES

Details are given of several new finite elements which are especially suitable for use in the analysis of box girder bridges. Results of three model tests are used as a basis for demonstrating the accuracy of the elements. Recommendations are made on the element type and size necessary for the economic and accurate analysis of box girder bridges. /Author/
