Abstract:
      In consideration of self-equilibrium condition for shear lag warping stress,shear deformation and shear lag effect,three different longitudinal displacement difference functions are employed to accurately reflect the amplitude of change of shear lag in the trapezoidal box girders with various widths of wing slabs,and a new warping displacement mode of trapezoidal thin-walled box girders is chosen to meet the axial self-equilibrium condition for corresponding stress,a more accurate approach is proposed to analyze the mechanical characteristics of trapezoidal box girders generally used in engineering.Based on the minimum potential principle,the governing differential equations and related natural boundary conditions are induced,the closed-form solutions of generalized displacements are obtained.The variations of stress of trapezoidal box girders,caused by the change of factors such as self-equilibrium condition,type of loading and ratio of span and width are discussed,the importance about the introduction of self-equilibrium condition is proved.
