Abstract EN
A finite segment method is presented to analyze the mechanical behavior of skewed box girders.
By modeling the top and bottom plates of the segments with skew plate beam element under an inclined coordinate system and the webs with normal plate beam element, a spatial elastic displacement model for skewed box girder is constructed, which can satisfy the compatibility condition at the corners of the cross section for box girders.
The formulation of the finite segment is developed based on the variational principle.
The major advantage of the proposed approach, in comparison with the finite element method, is that it can simplify a three-dimensional structure into a one-dimensional structure for structural analysis, which results in significant saving in computational times.
At last, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed finite segment method are verified by a model test.
