Abstract: This paper revisits the nonlinear in-plane analysis of a shallow pin-ended circular arch under a central concentrated load. It is found that the arch may have multiple equilibrium branches and limit points, and a modified ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical and experimental investigations of the in-plane strength and design of pin-ended circular arches having a sinusoidal corrugated web under combined in-plane loads. Finite-element models are ...

Abstract: This paper deals with experimental investigations into flexural-torsional ultimate resistance of in-plane-pinned circular steel arches. Three I-section arches with the same span but different rise-to-span ratios were tested ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the flexural-torsional buckling and ultimate resistance of parabolic steel arches with box sections subjected to full-span uniformly distributed vertical load by using finite-element numerical analyses. ...

Abstract: Circular arches subjected to in-plane loading are restrained with discrete lateral bracings to improve their out-of-plane stabilities in many cases. The arch segment between two adjacent bracings may buckle out of plane ...

Abstract: As a new type of nonprismatic built-up columns, the shuttle-shaped steel tubular latticed (SSTL) column is widely used in engineering structures. However, there are no methods available to test its ultimate resistance ...
