A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FOLDED PLATE STRUCTURES OF GENERAL FORM WAS USED TO STUDY THE LATERAL DISTRIBUTION OF LOAD IN SIMPLE SPAN COMPOSITE BOX GIRDER BRIDGES WITHOUT TRANSVERSE DIAPHRAGMS OR INTERNAL STIFFENERS . THE RESULTS WERE USED TO DEVELOP SIMPLE EXPRESSIONS FOR THE LOADS CARRIED BY THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR GIRDERS IN THIS TYPE OF BRIDGE. THE ACCURACY OF THE ANALYSIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE RESULTS OF TESTS OF A QUARTER-SCALE MODEL OF A TWO-LANE, 80 FOOT SPAN BRIDGE SUPPORTED BY THREE BOX GIRDERS. /AUTHOR/
