Compression Arcs: Structural Behavior
This lecture explores the structural behavior of compression arcs, focusing on their load distribution and horizontal thrusts. It covers examples such as the Eglise de Padre Pio and the Garabit Viaduct, discussing stiffening techniques and the difference between hyperstatic and isostatic arcs. The instructor also analyzes the stability issues of arcs under variable loads, comparing their ideal shape to that of a cable under similar stress.
