Nonlinear Finite Element Method Ultimate Strength Analysis of Open Box Girders

Abstract:

In this paper, the ultimate strength of open box girders with pure torque, bending moment and combined loads are investigated using a commercial FEA program, ABAQUS. It studies the ultimate strength bending moment of Nishihara open box girders model. This paper mainly analyzes the influence of the ultimate bending moment on the open box girders by the finite element mesh, bounding conditions of the open box girders and the initial deflection.
