girder systems. I-girder and box shaped members are covered. Bracing for other types of bridges, such as truss, arch or towers is not specifically addressed; however much of the information included in this volume may be applicable. Bracing systems serve a number of important roles in both straight and horizontally curved bridges.
The virtual box uses the deck slab or deck plate and plan bracing between the bottom flanges of two adjacent I girders to form a shape with torsional stiffness which can be used instead of a box girder.
Torsional brace strength requirements for steel I-girders. Yangqing Liu1, Matthew C. Reichenbach2, Todd A. Helwig3. Abstract. Torsional bracing is often used to stabilize beams in building and bridge applications. The bracing improves the stability by restraining twist of the cross section.
