Description

The subject of this paper is the preliminary estimation of the optimum rise of the arch rib in the case of steel arch bridges. This optimum rise is defined in relation to the weight of the construction material used for the arches and columns, while the cost of erection is ignored. A series of arch bridges, having various spans are examined. These bridges have a flexible deck and a stiffened arch rib. For each span the optimum rise is obtained, when the weight of the arches and columns is minimized. The results are given in diagrams in which the variation of the optimum rise with respect to various characteristic parameters, is shown. © 1985. (EN)
