Abstract In view of the urgent need for an efficient and accurate structural analysis method in bridge design practice, this paper introduces a total integrated analytical solution for multi-span, continuous slab-on-girder and box girder bridges, by modeling the bridge deck and the piers together, using the finite strip method (FSM). FSM has been well accredited for its efficiency in the structural analysis of bridges, reducing the time required for data input and analysis without affecting the degree of accuracy. By using a continuously differentiable smooth series in the longitudinal direction, a complex 3D problem is reduced to a 2D problem using… More >
