Abstract:

This paper uses both a virtual work approach and a static equilibrium approach to study the elastic flexural-torsional buckling of circular arches under uniform bending, or under uniform compression. In most studies of the elastic flexural-torsional buckling of arches under uniform compression produced by uniformly-distributed radial loads, the directions of the radial loads are conventionally assumed not to change but to remain parallel to their initial directions during buckling. In practice, the uniform compression may be produced by hydrostatic loads or by uniformly-distributed radial loads that are directed to a specific point during buckling. In addition, there are discrepancies between existing solutions for the elastic flexural-torsional buckling moment and load of arches under uniform bending or under uniform compression which need to be clarified. Closed form solutions for the buckling moment and load are developed. The discrepancies among the existing solutions for the elastic flexural-torsional buckling moment and load of arches are clarified and the sources for the discrepancies are identified. It is found that the lateral components of hydrostatic loads and of uniformly-distributed radial loads that are always directed toward the center of the arch increase the flexural-torsional buckling resistance of an arch under uniform compression. It is also found that first_order buckling deformations are sufficient for static equilibrium approaches for the flexural-torsional buckling analysis of arches. The rational static equilibrium approach for the flexural-torsional buckling in the present study is effective.
