8.5.4 Stress-strain relations<br />

In the elastic range of beam deformation, the stress-strain relations are<br />

so that, from equation 8.27,<br />

xx = εxxE, m = εmE (8.28)<br />

xx = Er1 − zn 2<br />

Substituting for xx in equation 8.14, the equilibrium condition expressed in terms of<br />

strain is<br />

Introducing the expression for arch strain from equation 8.30 in the kinematic compatibility<br />

equation 8.27 yields the arch deformation equation:<br />

With n <strong>and</strong> r defined by equations 8.15 <strong>and</strong> 8.25, equations 8.31 <strong>and</strong> 8.29 provide the<br />

means of determining the deflection, abutment stress <strong>and</strong> stability of the beam.<br />

8.5.5 Resistance to buckling or snap-through<br />

Elastic stability of the voussoir beam is assured if the maximum possible resisting<br />

moment MR is greater than the disturbing moment MA. A necessary condition is that<br />

the resisting moment increases with increasing deflection. From equations 8.17 <strong>and</strong><br />
