Abstract:The paper presents the elastic bending theory by taking shear deformation for composite bridge with corrugated steel web.Based on displacement field assumption,internal force equilibrium equations,the deformation compatibility condition,the relationship of deformation and internal force,and analytical solutions are obtained according to boundary and load condition.Simply supported Iand boxgirder bridge with corrugated steel web are analyzed with elastic bending theory considering shear deformation, their predicted results are found in good agreement with those of the finite element analysis and model test.A limit value of depthspan ratio is suggested,whether the influence of shear deformation being considered or not.A simplified formula of deflection in middle span is presented to guide deflection design.
