Parametric Analysis on Shear Lag Effects of Box-Girder Beam

Abstract:

In order to study the influencing parameters of the shear lag effects on the box-girder beam, the effective width was analyzed by the ways of looking up the present code and formula. Taking the simply supported and cantilever girder as the example, the parameter sensitivity was studied, such as width/span, cantilever length and span. The results showed that the shear lag effect of mid-span beam is small but the support beam is outstanding; the fixed amount relationship of the parameters and the shear lag effects was put forward. The conclusions will be useful for the design and construction of the box girder bridge.
