Wind Stresses in Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridges
Ordinarily, the effect of wind forces is slighted in the design of arch bridges despite the fact that wind stresses in these structures are often considerable. In the Ammer Arch Bridge; near Echelsbach, Germany, with a span of 426 ft, the stresses due to wind constitute about 55% of the total, including live load, dead load, and temperature changes. On the other hand, the excessively heavy wind-bracing sometimes built into reinforced concrete arch bridges results in an uneconomic and unsightly design.
