The finite element method utilizing isopararametric plate element is applied for the elastic analysis of straight box girder bridges.
A continuous box girder is analyzed as an example to verify the validity and accuracy of this method. It is indicated that the deflections and longitudinal stresses obtained by this method agree well with those from the other methods.
