Abstract
Taking South-to-North Water Diversion Bridge, a continuous composite box-girder bridge with corrugated steel webs, as the engineering background, the cantilever beam end’s deflection calculation formulae considering shear deformation were deduced by using energy method. Comparing with finite-element analysis (FEA) values and measured values, the formulae which considered both concentrated force and uniform load have enough accuracy. Results show that, shear deformation’s proportion is more obvious in overall deflection of such box-girders which have smaller span ratio, and it’s more than 30%. For continuous composite box-girder bridge with corrugated steel webs, contribution of shear deformation to overall deflection should not be ignored.
