Indian Standard Criteria For Design Of Reinforced Concrete Arches
This standard lays down recommendations for. the classification, dimensional
proportioning, analysis and design of reinforced concrete arches. The criteria for
design is intended to apply only to arches which are primarily loaded ( with dead
and live loads ) in their own plane and where curve lies in one plane. Portal8 are
not covered by this criteria.
• TYPES OF ARCHES –
Structurally arches may be classified into
the following
Fixed or HingelessArches : These have
their ends built rigidly into the supports
which do not allow them to move or rotate.
Concrete arches are usually of this type.
Hinged arches : These arches may have
only one hinge at the crown, or two hinges;
one at each springing, or three hinges; one
at each springing and one at the crown.
Hinged arches are not commonly employed
in concrete. Temporary hinges are,
sometimes, introduced during construction.
Based on construction, an arch can be
identified as
Filled spandrel arch : This arch consists of
an arch slab carrying a filling of earth or
any other suitable material on its back in
the spandrel portion
Open spandrel arch : It consists of an arch
slab carrying a system of walls, piers or
columns on its back to support the decking;
or arch ribs supporting the decking at any
level above the crown or between the
crown and ( see springing's, through a
system of columns or suspenders or both.
Tied arch or bow-string girder : Where
supports cannot resist the horizontal
reaciion effectively, a tie at the level of
springings is used to take up the horizontal
thrust and such an arch is called a tied arch.
• LOADS -
For the purpose of design of reinforced concrete arches, the following loads shall
be considered, where applicable. The effect of temperature variations and
shrinkage shall also be taken into account.
Dead load
Live load
Wind load
Seismic load
Tractive force
Snow load
• MATERIALS - The materials for reinforced concrete arches shall conform to
the requirements of 4 of IS : 456-1964*
Concrete : Concrete mix shall be controlled concrete conforming to 5 of IS :
456-1964+. Since arches carry primarily compressive stresses, it is economical
to use high strength concrete as in columns.
Steel : The steel reinforcement shall be mild steel or medium tensile steel bars
conforming to IS : 432 ( Part 1 )-1966t.
• STRESSES - The basic permissible stresses in concrete and steel should be in
accordance with requirements of IS : 456-1964*.
Combination of Stresses : When a section is subjected to combine bending and
direct stresses, the conditions specified in 11 of IS : 456.1964* should be
satisfied.
Increase in Stresses : For various combination of loads specified in 5, the basic
permissible stresses may be increased as recommended in IS : 456.1964’ for
arches in buildings and as recommended in relevant Indian Standards for bridge
arches.
• CONFIGURATION – Shape of the Axis -The shape of the arch axis should, as far
as possible, coincide with the funicular polygon for dead loads.
Find Arches- For preliminary design, the shape of arch axis as given by the following
equation may be adopted, taking origin of the coordinates at the crown of the arch:

where
y = vertical distance of any point on the arch axis from the crown,
h = rise of the arch,
m= Wg/We
Wg = average load on the arch per unit length of span near springing,
W c= average load on the arch per unit length of span near crown,
p=loge (m+ +rn”-- 1),
x = horizontal distance of any point on the arch axis from the crown,
L = span of the arch measured from the centre line at the Springing
Rise of Arch-The rise of arches should generally be between one third to one
sixth of the span for economy, the smaller value being applicable to relatively
longer spans and the larger value for relatively smaller spans. Flatter arches have
greater moments due to temperature, shrinkage etc, and those with bigger rise
have greater length and higher cost of formwork.
Scetion of the Arch - In fixed arches, the section is increased from crown
towards springing. The increase in depth at the springing should be 50 to 75
petient over that at the crown. The variation in the moment of inertia of the arch
section is provided by the -following relation

Where
I = moment of inertia of the arch rib at any section,
Ie = moment of inertia of the arch rib at the crown,
Oa = angle which the tangent to the arch axis makes with the horizontal at the
springing,
x = horizontal distance of the section from crown,
L = span of the arch,
O = angle which the tangent to the arch axis makes with the horizontal at the
section under consideration, and
z, = moment of inertia of the arch rib at thc springing.
• Live Load Moments and Thrusls - The influence lines for moments at crown,
quarter-point and springing point and for horizontal thrust and shear
