Comparison of analysis models for semi circular curved box-girder bridge deck

With the quick development of transportation infrastructure, there is an increase in the number of construction of curved bridges, particularly in the construction of highway interchanges and overpasses. The most popular type of curved bridges structure being used is Box-Girder. This is due to its e...
