ULTIMATE STRENGTH FORMULA FOR CENTRAL-ARCH-GIRDER BRIDGES

Extending the slenderness parameter concept, it is shown that the ultimate strength of central-arch-girder bridges subjected to in-plane distributed loads can be predicted by column strength formulas. The proposed formulas are shown to be sufficiently accurate for preliminary design purposes.
