STEEL BOX GIRDER BRIDGES - DESIGN GUIDES & METHODS.

Abstract

During the past decade, there has been extensive use of steel box girders for straight and curved highway and transit structures. To meet the need of use of such structural elements, design criteria had to be established. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present information relative to the design criteria in addition to information on preliminary plate sizes, design aids, and computer-adied design of steel box girder bridges.
