The design of steel box girder bridges under unsymmetrically placed live loads involves consideration of intermediate diaphragms that are required to limit crosssectional deformation and distortional normal stresses. In this paper, the required spacing and stiffness of such intermediate diaphragms are examined by performing a parametric study based on Beam Analogy.
The results of the present parametric study yield a series of simplified design procedure that accounts for estimating diaphragm spacing and stiffness that are required to limit not only distortional stresses but also cross-sectional deformation.
