Discussion of “Multibeam Bridges with Elements of Channel Section”

Finite element analysis of multi-channel-beam bridges

“…al. [27] also investigated the multibeam bridge with channel beams to compare their modified articulated plate theory with Khachaturian's approach, no detailed information was provided.…”

“…However, Cusens and Pama [27] pointed out that Khachaturian's method gave only the average value at the center of each beam, whereas, their improved articulated plate theory gave a clearer indication of the actual distribution of bending across the transverse section.…”
