(TU Delft Concrete Structures; Universidad San Francisco de Quito; Adstren) Contributor Lantsoght, Eva (editor) Greene, Gary (editor) Belarbi, Abdeldjelil (editor) Date 2020 Abstract The design of a cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete, multi-cell box girder bridge under combined torsion, shear, and flexure is presented in this example. The bridge covers three spans of different lengths, supported by two abutments and two bents; its cross-section consists of three 12 ft (3.7 m) lanes, two 10 ft (3.0 m) shoulders, and two concrete barriers. The detailed procedure for the design based on ACI 318-14 is presented, and a comparison is done with the design results for: AASHTO LRFD 2017, EN 1992-1-1:2004, and MC-2010. With this example, the authors illustrate the differences between provisions of the aforementioned codes for design of torsional effects, outlining the different theories and approaches used for each of these.
