A Minimal GBT Model for Distortional-Twist Elastic Analysis of Box-Girder Bridges

A simple and efficient method is proposed for the analysis of twist of rectangular box-girder bridges, which undergo distortion of the cross section. The model is developed in the framework of the Generalized Beam Theory and oriented towards semi-analytical solutions. Accordingly, only two modes are...
