✦ Synopsis

A general matrix formulation and mathematical programming techniques are used for the analysis of arch bridge structures in the inelastic range. Discretization of the structural model and of the constitutive laws of the material enables the solution of a number of engineering problems by a unified computer program. The capability of the method includes the limit load and deformation analysis, historical load-deformation analysis and shakedown load analysis. All these problems but the last one are covered in the paper and are illustrated in the example of an actual reinforced concrete arch bridge with a stiffening girder.

## Abstract A direct method is described for the evaluation of the critical loads on deep circular arches having various forms of end support. The method is applicable to arches of non‐uniform flexural rigidity and may cater for arbitrary forms of applied load distribution. The results calculated f

## Abstract In the paper a simplified nonlinear method has been applied to the analysis of base‐isolated structures. In the first part, a three‐linear idealization of the capacity curve is proposed. The initial stiffness is defined based on the first yielding point in the superstructure, whereas th
