Form-Finding of Funicular Geometries in Spatial Arch Bridges through Simplified Force Density Method
In a “classical„ vertical planar arch bridge subjected only to in-plane loads, its funicular geometry (which is the geometry that results in an equilibrium state free from bending stresses, i.e., simply under axial forces) is contained within a vertical plane. In the so-called &a...
