Abstract:

As compared with common concrete box girders,box girders with corrugated steel webs are of lower torsional rigidity and greater torsional normal stress due to their structural particularity. In order to deeply investigate the warping stress loading on the box girders with corrugated steel webs under torsion,corrugated steel webs are taken as orthotropic plates based on the theory and the mechanical characteristics of box girders,with corrugated steel webs,and a torsion differential equation of box girders with corrugated steel webs is deduced by using the second theory of Wu. Then,the constraint torsional normal stress and shear stress are calculated by employing the initial parameter method,and the results are compared with the test ones. It is found that the stress analysis in this paper is correct and more precise.

Key words: box girder, corrugated steel web, torsional stress, torsion differential equation, the second theory of Wu
