ENGINEERING LESSONS - EPISODE 7 COMPARISION BETWEEN BOX & T GRDERS
This Article is a compilation of the below Technical Papers, only the Essence of the Papers are provided here for quick grab in this section, detail report is attached below. Generally, for Bridge Super Structure we would construct Box Girder, I/T Girders, Void Beam, etc... So, we require a better understanding of Super Structure Section which best suited for a particular Spans, cost wise & Constructability point of views. Software used: CSI Bridge FEM method is economical than the one-dimensional analysis. Box girder is found to be Costlier for 16.3 m Span whereas for 31 m span the box girder is economical. Box girder are more suitable in terms of stability and economy as compared to T beam girder bridge superstructure. For longer spans the depth of T-beam Girder increases drastically which makes it uneconomical. Therefore, for higher spans more than 25m the Box Girder is always suitable due to its higher torsional rigidity. For lesser spans I ...
