Abstract:This research presents formulations for structural stability analysis of symmetrical arches with circular shape by determining the load related to the first buckling mode (critical load). Four loading conditions were suggested for analysis: uniform distributed load in the radial direction, concentrated load vertically in the middle of the span, uniform distributed load in the span direction and radial concentrated load. Three models were formulated for analysis, being a theoretical model obtained from the diff… Show more
