Abstract:
Frequently flexural members are made of single or multiple cellular sections due to a variety of reasons. Clearly, the superb torsional capacity of such sections is a major attraction for girders in horizontally curved alignments. However, the ease of maintenance and esthetic considerations favor the choice of such girders.
