Abstract: Steel arches are applied in many engineering structures because of their excellent capacity to resist various transverse loadings. Modified (or normalized) slenderness plays an important role in the strength design of steel ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the elastic lateral-torsional buckling of shear deformable circular arches of monosymmetric steel I-section with in-plane elastic rotational end constraints under a central concentrated radial load. ...

Abstract: To explore the seismic performance of RC bridge columns subjected to combined stresses of compression, bending, shear, and torsion, reversed cyclic tests with eight column specimens were performed in the laboratory. ...

Abstract: The sunflower arch bridge is a new type of reinforced concrete arch bridge that has been developed recently. Because of the complex constructional details, the stress distribution at the joint between the main arch and ...
