Abstract
A continuous system of arches on elastic piers is analyzed in this paper, and a method of finding moments and horizontal thrusts at the ends of individual arch spans and piers, is presented. The subject of designing multiple arches, in the wide sense of the term, “design,” is not treated; the paper is restricted to the discussion of a problem in engineering mechanics of determining stresses under given conditions of loading when all dimensions of the structure are known.
The method is based on the well-known principle of moment distribution originated by Hardy Cross, M. Am. Soc. C. E. but the manner of applying that principle, and various details of the method are original.
