Load-Sharing Ratio in Variable-Depth Beam–Arch Composite Bridges: Analytical Formulation, Numerical Verification, and Construction-Monitoring Assessment
Beam–arch composite bridges resist external loads through the interaction of the main girder, arch ribs, and hangers. This study develops an analytical method for evaluating the arch-rib load-sharing ratio of variable-depth, three-span continuous beam–arch composite bridges. The variable-depth main girder is represente...
