Analysis of a T-Frame Bridge

الملخص EN

The structural behavior of T-frame bridges is particularly complicated and it is difficult using a general analytical method to directly acquire the internal forces in the structure.

This paper presents a spatial grillage model for analysis of such bridges.

The proposed model is validated by comparison with results obtained from field testing.

It is shown that analysis of T-frame bridges may be conveniently performed using the spatial grillage model.
