dc.description.abstract |
The purpose of this thesis was to solve the complexity of the analysis of symmetrical, parabolic fixed-end arches by a numerical analysis method. The conditions of loading were vertical concentrated, vertical uniformly distributed and horizontal uniformly distributed. The analysis for the given types of loading was accomplished in three steps:
l) Computer programs were written that would numerically analyze an experimental arch. The programs were developed to compute the three redundants (horizontal reaction,
vertical reaction and clockwise fixed-end moment) at the right fixed end; along with outputs for the vertical and horizontal deflection for any point on the span of the
arch.
2) The results from the computer analysis of the experimental arch are validated by several techniques, to verify results.
3) The experimental arch was analyzed for various loads and rise-to-span ratios and the data were applied to the construction of a set of design charts.
The design charts show:
1) The vertical deflection for any point on any symmetrical, parabolic, fixed-end arch with different types of loading;
2) the horizontal deflection for the same data;
3) the horizontal reaction;
4) the vertical reaction;
5) the fixed-end moment.
With the design charts constructed, results were obtained applicable for any rise-to-span ratio, length of the span, and intensity of load. |
