Abstract

Box type structures used in bridges, nuclear reactors are in larger sizes and they need to be stable under adverse loading conditions. The present study is intended to assess the performance of the box type structure subjected to uniformly distributed load under static conditions by varying height to breadth ratios, no of stiffeners and also by varying thickness of the stiffeners. For the static analysis, a sample box type structure of box girder is considered and assessed statistically using ANSYS. The scaled down model of the structure is fabricated and the experimental validation is done using LabVIEW software.
