Slab-on-Girder Prestressed Concrete Bridges: Linear and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Load Tests
A diaphragm is a transverse stiffener, which is placed between girders in order to maintain section geometry, (AASHTO, 2002). Intermediate diaphragms, usually placed at the midspan or third points of a bridge, are thought to contribute to the overall distribution of live loads in bridges. Cast-in-pl...
