Arch3D makes it possible to determine the resistant capacity of compressed and flexed arches with a double tee section, susceptible to lateral buckling. For this, the magnitudes of the equivalent imperfections are obtained and the imperfect structure is analyzed.

Goals

The objective is to determine the existing efforts in perfect and imperfect arcs with linear and non-linear behavior and to determine the resistance of the sections used.

Instructions

Arch geometry, section shape, dimensions, materials, loads, and out-of-plane boundary conditions are selected. Different graphs are obtained as results that show the efforts of the perfect and imperfect structure in linear and nonlinear calculation, and the proximity of the sections to their ultimate resistance.

Conclusions

The tool facilitates elastic and plastic design of slender steel or aluminum metal arches with sections in class 1, 2 plastic behavior or 3 elastic behavior susceptible to buckling by compression, bending or bending. -compression
