I. Formulas for Standa~d Sections

For the proper interaction between torsional and

bending moments in a STRUDL analysis, the torsional prop­
erties of the ma~ers must be specified. The torsional
rigidities IX for many standard shapes of members have been
documented in many texts and will be included in this
appendix for your convenience.

torsional rigidities for shapes related to Bridge Design.

The following assumptions are made in developing

the e~uations used.

closed section may be obtained from:

IX = (Ref. B.l)

where: n is the total area enclosed by the center line of the

walls of the closed section. The integral term represents
the sum of the various lengths of wall section divided b7

 The equation of equilibrium for n cells is:

(1) Mt = 2 t q in i (1}

i= I

where qi is the shear flow in cell i, and .n i is the area

inclosec by the center line of the walls inclosing the cell,
and Mt is the twisting moment applied to the cell.

The equations of consistent deformation are:

G is the shear modul...:s o= elasticity.

ds/t is the sum of the length of cell wall, com.--ao~ to

cells j and i, divided by its thickness.

ds/t is the sum of the length of cell wall common to

cells j and k, divided by its thicknesses.

ds/t is the sum of the lengths of cell walls common

5S·J J· to cell j, divided by their respective thicknesses.

e is the angle of twist in radians

Equation (2) will yield n equations for n unknown

shear flows and can be solved for the shear flows qi in terms

of G and the angle of twist e. Knowing qi and Ili the tor­

sional constant IX may be calcul~ted from:

 The following examples are attached to show four

methods of solution that may be used for a box girder section.
The example section chosen was a standard three celled box
girder with sloping er.terior girders.

a. Solution bv Method of Simultaneous Ecuations

The torsional constant IX for a three celled box
gi~der may be calculated by the method of simultaneous equa­
tions which is based upon the following facts:
I
{1) The summation of external torsional moments and
the internal resisting shear flow system must be
equal to zero.
(2) The angle of twist must be the same for each cell.
These facts are ~sed to write one equation for each cell in
te~s of the shear flow q for that particular cell. The
resulting shear flows are then used to calculate the Torsional
Constant IX. The method used in the following example uses
three simultaneous equations to solve for the unknown shear
flO\'IS q.

ct 1 = 2.42 Ge

q. 2 = 2. 73 Ge

q, 3 = 2.42 G9

And from Equafion 3 we obtain :

IX = _£(2.42 • 41.40 + 2.73· 47.51 + 2.42· 41.40)

Ge

IX = 660.1 ft 4

b. Solution bv Method of S~ccessive Corrections

The Torsional Constant IX for a multiple cell box

gi=der may be calculated by the method of successive correc­
tions. This method is similar to the moment distri~ution
method used in frw~e analysis. The method is based on the
following facts:

C-14

 ---~l;f,:
' .:~~~:·
(1} The s~T.mation of the external torsional moment and

the internal resisting shear flow force system must

equal 0.

(2) The angle of twist must be the sa~e for each cell.
These facts are used to write one equation for each cell in
terms of the shear flow q. The resulting equatior.s are tee~
solved by the method of successive corrections.
The relation between shear flow and twist per ur.it
length is given by,

(3) q = 2AGe (Ref. 2)

EJ:.
T

~·1here

G = Modulus of rigidity
L = Length of any cell wall of constant thickness
t = Thickness
9 = ~#ist per unit length
A = Area of cell interior
Assu~~ng G9 = 1, equation (3) can be written

This equation then solves for q for each cell. ~ndependently.

T~e resulting q for eac~ cell is the ass~~ed q tha~ is adjus~ed
by the successi'le approximations method.

carry over factors are determined for each cell from

the follO\'Iing equations,

C-15
 The carry over operation is performed until the
desired precision is reached. The final q for each cell is
equal to the initial q plus all the carry overs from adjacent
cells. It will be noted in the example problem that the
carry over from cell 2 in the third step is computed from the
~ of car~J overs to cell 2 in the previous step. The tor­
sional constant IX is then computed from the following
equation.

c. Solution bv Aaoroxirnate Method

k~ aaoroxi~ate method to fi~d the torsional co~stant
o= a multiple box girder would be to assume that the interior
web members were not effective in torsion. The torsional
constant could then be calculated from standard for.nulas pub­
lished in Engi~eering Handbooks. A good reference for
torsional constants is "Design of Welded Structures" by
Blodgett. The following example uses the di~ensions as
stated in the other methods but neglects the ef=ects of
interior web rna~ers for torsional considerations.

c. Solution by Finite Element Analysis

The solution by finite elements requires the use

of a torsional analysis program available in Bridge Computer
Services. A complete discussion of the theort and use of the
program is also available in Bridge Computer Services. The
follm·ling example shows the steps needed to obtain a tor­
sional constant by the finite element method.
