Funded Activity Summary

Analysis and behaviour of members curved spatially in-plane. This project aims to study the fundamental behaviour of structural members that are curved in a plane oriented arbitrarily in space, which will benefit greatly the rational design of contemporary bridges and buildings. It builds on previously funded ARC research by the team and will augment extensively the numerical models developed. These models will be calibrated with a unique set of experiments that will encompass novel loading, boundary conditions and structural forms. The outcomes of this project will include accurate design methods of immense benefit to practising structural engineers dealing with the design of curved bridges and arches in particular.
