Abstract
The described loadings on bridges in the preceding chapter cause a certain reaction of the arch bridge if applied to the bridge. This reaction is either admissible or inadmissible. Inadmissible reactions of bridges include damages or failure of the bridge. To prevent such effects, the reaction of bridges exposed to loads is usually studied in advance.
“An arch bridge can bear everything, except a static computation.”
