Abstract:
      Based on Ritz method,the calculation formula of the critical load coefficient about leaning-type arch bridge has been first derived under the hinged boundary condition at the main arch ribs springers and clamped boundary condition at the stable arch ribs.And compared it with the result obtained from FEM,it is verified that the formula presented in this paper is accurate.Furthermore,those effect factors are analyzed,such as the bending deformation energy and torsional deformation energy of the stable arch ribs,the tangential the radial bending deformation energy of transverse braces,the potential energy of non-directional load of hangers and the bending deformation energy of bridge deck on the critical load coefficient λcr of leaning-type arch bridge.It is shown from the research results that:The bending deformation energy of the stable arch ribs have some influence on the critical load coefficient λcr while the torsional deformation energy have little influence on it; If the tangential the radial bending deformation energy of transverse braces are ignored,the critical load coefficient λcr will decrease by approximately 65% to 83%,so the transverse brace between the main arch rib and stable arch rib have significant impact on the critical load coefficient λcr; The leaning-type arch bridge's critical load coefficient λcr increases effectively with the increasing of stable arch rib's inclined angle,and adding the stability of arch rib is a great help for the lateral stability of leaning-type arch bridge.
