Precise Transfer Matrix Method for Plane-Bucking Analysis of Circular Arch

Abstract:

Arch bridge as well as arch frame of building is òne kind of plane-curved-bar system of bearing pressure.When the load of arch carrying reaches some value, the arch will lost the balance stability. Based on the theory of precise transfer matrix method and differential equation of circular arch in plane, a new method for plane-buckling analysis of circular arch under uniform load is derived, by which the critical load of circular arch with two hinge supports is calculated. Compared with the theoretical solution, they anastomosed each other well, that shows the method is right and effective.
