Abstract:
A procedure for the analysis of an open spandrel arch including the effects of the superstructure is
developed by neons of a special adaptation of the method of moment distribution and the virtual Trork
equations. The arch is considered cut at the center line, and the action of one half of the structure upon
the other is replaced by six unknown forces (one horizontal force, one vertical force and one moment
applied at both deck and arch at the center section). All joints of the remaining arch structure are then
held against translation by sets of restraining forces. The moments resulting from separate application
of the real loads and each one of the six above mentioned unknown forces are determined. Additional
joint moments are introduced, obtained from the solution of so-called equilibrium equations, which
remove all restraints and restore equilibrium of external and internal forces. The joint moments,
expressed in terms of actual loads and the six unknowns, are then utilized to determine rotation and
deflections in horizontal and vertical directions of both deck and arch at the center section. The fact that
rotations and deflections at that section must be identical for the two halves of the structure, provides
six equations, permitting solution for the six unknowns. A model arch, tested by the University of
Illinois experiment Station in 1928, is analyzed by this procedure, and a comparison between
calculated and measured stresses is made. Close agreement is obtained, indicating decided superiority
of this approach over the conventional one of neglecting the effects of interaction between deck and
arch rib.

The proof of th is assumption w ill hinge on whether or not arch jo in ts

capable of d e fle c tio n in one d ire c tio n only.

Proof:

The arch sectio n Shovm in Fig. Iii i s acted upon by V, H amd M. By

v i r tu a l vrork:

Now V i s assumed such th a t A y = O

Solving fo r M in the second eouation and su b stitu tin g in to the f i r s t :

/ V zzyyi - / 4 - J z T a x c/x.
Hf V
S u b stitu tio n of these fa c to rs in th e above in te g ra l equation v/ill re ­
duce th e c o e ffic ie n ts of V and H to zero.
To evaluate the e rro r introduced, the expression fo r/1 x can also be
w r i t te n : .

•where f — = (\ , x and. y are the coordinates of the cen tro id of A , and
Ixx, Iyy and Ixy are th e moments of i n e r t i a and the product of in e r tia of
A about x and y axes through i t s c e n tro id . A ll these q u a n titie s w ill be
known from the determ ination of the e la s t ic p ro p e rtie s of arch sectio n s.
I t i s th ere fo re p o ssib le to evaluate num erically the c o e ffic ie n ts of V
and H, and to c a lc u la te the magnitude of jo in t r e s tr a in ts neglected by
assuming th ese c o e ffic ie n ts equal to zero.
The f u l l im p licatio n of the above d iscussion i s t h a t, according to
assumptions, arch jo in ts must d e fle c t in h o rizo n tal and v e r tic a l d irec­
tio n s sim ultaneously, th ere being a d e f in ite , unvarying re la tio n sh ip be­
tween the two d e fle c tio n s fo r each given jo in t. Having the choice of s e l-
V** A H-I
ectin g fo r t h is re la tio n s h ip the r a t i o or ----- , the ra tio
A V-I a* = ATi*3'

The equilibrium equations must now be modified in accordance with th e
nreceeding assumptions. Since th e re w ill be a d e fin ite re la tio n sh ip be—
tween h o rizo n tal and v e r tic a l d e fle ctio n s of arch p o in ts , they can be per­
m itted to occur sim ultaneous!v. This reduces panel d e fle c tio n s to th e two

groups shown in F ig. l £ , b and c.
