Analysis of Pure Bending Vertical Deflection of Improved Composite Box Girders with Corrugated Steel Webs by Chi Ma, Shi-zhong Liu, Jin Di, Rui-jie Zhang

“…The equations for the calculation of the shear deformation and the additional deflection due to the shear lag of continuous and simply supported composite box girders with CSWSB under concentrated and uniformly distribution loads were derived by considering the double effects of the shear lag and the shear deformations of the top and the bottom plates with different elastic moduli. The analytical solutions of the vertical deflection of the improved composite box girders include the theory of the bending deflection of elementary beams, shear deformation of CSWs, and the additional deflection caused by the shear lag. …”
