Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to develop new formulas for live load distribution in horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges. The formulas are developed by utilizing computer model results for a number of different horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges. The bridges used in this study are modeled as generalized grillage beam systems composed of horizontally curved beam elements for steel girders and substructure elements for lateral wind bracing and cross frames which consist of truss elements. Warping torsion is taken into consideration in the analysis. The effect of numerous parameters, including radius of curvature, girder spacing, overhang, etc., on the load distribution are studied. Key parameters affecting live load distribution are identified and simplified formulas are developed to predict positive moment, negative moment, and shear distribution for one-lane and multiple-lane loading. Comparisons of the formulas with finite element method and grillage analysis show that the proposed formulas have more accurate results than the various available American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials specifications. The formulas developed in this study will assist bridge engineers and researchers in predicting the actual live load distribution in horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges. © ASCE.
