In order to study the influence of middle diaphragm beam on the load transverse distribution of T-shape beam bridges,two steel T-girder bridge models were developed,one of which has a middle diaphragm and the other has no diaphragm.Each model was made of five pieces of T-beam of rib.The theoretical data were calculated by Midas/civil finite element analysis software,and compared with the data of model experiment.The result shows that the middle diaphragm between the T-girder bridge has relatively large overall rigidity,and the force transmission between each girder is much better;However,as fa...
