Abstract

A new torsional analysis method for multiple cell box based on the Softened Truss Model Theory was developed. This softened truss model unifies shear and torsion to address the problem associated with a torque applied on a box. The model should be very useful for the analysis of a reinforced concrete box under torque, especially for the bridge superstructure with multiple cell box sections.
