Lateral Buckling Analysis of a Cable-Stayed Arch
A brilliant example of how computer aided engineering can assist engineers to contrive an optimal solution to the problem of lateral buckling
ABSTRACT
The stability phenomenon of the lateral buckling of a cable-stayed arch imposes restrictions on the design of the arch itself. The cable-stayed arch on one of the three bridges designed by Santiago Calatrava in Reggio Emilia, Italy, is a brilliant example of how computer aided engineering can assist engineers to contrive an optimal solution to the problem of lateral buckling.
