Shear Lag in Thin-Walled Box Girder with Variable Section

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a equivalent-section method of analyzing shear lag effects in box girders is presented. The effect of two major parameters on shear lag is investigated for cantilever and continuous box girders with variable section under two kinds of loads. It is shown that the span-width ratio, in addition to the flange stiffness to total stiffness ratio, has a significant influence on the shear lag. Finally, conclusions are drawn with regard to further study and research.
