Two-I-girder bridges is becoming increasingly popular in these days due to its economic advantage. However the use of this type bridge is limitted to straight bridges in plan. This paper describes trial design and FEM analysis of a curved bridge with 50m single span, where the applicability to the curved span is investigated. From this study, the possibility of application of this type of bridge to curved bridges is made clear, as far as bridges having such curvatures as those classical type is concerned.
