SHEAR LAG EFFECT IN BOX GIRDER WITH VARYING DEPTH

The shear lag effect on the cellular girder sections with the varying depth that is met with in bridge construction is covered. Analysis and computation are made by adopting Reissner's method in which the princple of potential energy has been used. The finite difference equations are set up to obtain the solutions for box sections with varying depth. This paper presents a solution for shear lag effect in a box girder with varying depth using a finite difference technique, and investigates distribution of shear lag effect along the cantilever box girder through the results of numerical example. The conclusions drawn from the analysis and the model tests are presented.
