The behaviour of curved box-girder bridge is quite different from the straight one as it is experienced by the additional torsional moments. The analysis and design of such box-girder bridges are quite complicated when the curve angle is varied. The effect of curve angle on the forces and deflection in the girders, inner and outer, of a simply supported single cell reinforced concrete curved box-girder bridge is investigated in this study. A Finite element based software, CSiBridge v.20, was used for the analysis. A convergence study was performed on the proposed model to select the optimum mesh size and the results obtained are validated with the published literature. The variation of absolute values of forces and deflection along both the girders, under dead load (DL) and IRC (Indian Road Congress) live load (LL), is observed and the equations are proposed for their prediction in terms of non-dimensional parameters, using the statistical approach. The present results may be helpful to the designers in the analysis and design of curved single cell reinforced concrete box-girder bridges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
