THE ANALYSIS OF CURVED MULTI-SPAN ORTHOTROPIC BRIDGE DECKS

AN ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR CALCULATING DEFLECTIONS AND STRESSES IN ANNULAR PLATES ACTED UPON BY CONCENTRATED LOADS IS PRESENTED. CONDITIONS OF EDGE-STIFFENING AND ORTHOTROPHY ARE INCLUDED IN A GENERAL ELASTIC SOLUTIONS. THE RESULTS FROM THE ANALYTICAL METHOD ARE COMPARED WITH THOSE OBTAINED FROM A SET OF EXPERIMENTS. /RRL (A)/
