CUGAR I - A PROGRAM TO ANALYZE CURVED GIRDER BRIDGES

AN ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF CURVED STEEL GIRDER BRIDGES IS PRESENTED. THE METHOD IS BASED UPON A GRID ANALOGY OF THE STRUCTURE WHICH EMPLOYS THE STIFFNESS METHOD OF ANALYSIS. A COMPUTER PROGRAM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE ANALYSIS. THE REPORT CONSISTS OF ONE VOLUME FOR USERS OF THE PROGRAM AND ANOTHER VOLUME CONTAINING SYSTEMS INFORMATION USEFUL FOR AIDING IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE PROGRAM ON VARIOUS COMPUTER SYSTEMS. SEVERAL EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATING INPUT DATA ARE PRESENTED. /FHWA/
