Evaluation of Criteria for Out-of-Plane Stability of Steel Arch Bridges in Major Design Codes by FE Analysis
The provisions for out-of-plane stability of steel arch bridges in three major design codes are presented in this paper. By employing an existing steel arch bridge as a model, the influence of bridge type, arch rib to lateral bracing stiffness ratio, rise-to-span ratio, arch rib spacing, and range o...
