Abstract:The development of long-span closed steel box composite girder bridge is briefly introduced. The closed steel box composite girder has the advantages of steel box girder and channel-shaped composite girder, which is especially suitable for bridges with small curve radius, long span or high demand for torsional property of the bridge. The bridge has the advantages such as convenient construction, good structural properties, and fine economical properties, and has the strong competitiveness in the complex environmental of cities and mountainous areas. The rapid development and applications are achieved. Therefore, it is desiderated to carry out the relevant theoretical research and experimental demonstration. The technical characteristics of the closed steel box girder bridge are summarized from the design methods and structural types. And the key technical problems worthy of further research in the field of design method, structural system, composite deck slab and cracking in negative bending moment zone are analyzed and expounded.
