Abstract

Prestressed concrete box girders have become increasingly popular as bridge superstructures because of its
high torsional stiffness and strength. Most of the study is concentrated only on varying the span and depth of the box girder
bridge. In the present study the effect of number of cells is considered. A simply supported single-span four-cell box girder
bridge with span to depth ratio of 25 is considered. The analysis is carried out for two-cell, three-cell and four-cell
rectangular box girder bridge. The modelling and analysis is done using SAP 2000 software. The responses such as bending
moment, shear force and deflection are compared. Results shows that the two-cell box girder is efficient compared to three
and four-cell box girder bridge.
