Features: This book first introduces the general linear analysis theory of thin-walled curved beams, then proposes a complete theory for the stability analysis of thin-walled steel arches and the nonlinear analysis of curved beams. It derives the section parameters and nonlinear analysis equations for commonly used sections, solves classic problems, and then proposes methods for elastoplastic analysis. The book elaborates in detail on the difficulties that may be encountered in geometric and physical nonlinear analysis processes and proposes solutions. Additionally, it introduces the results of experimental research on curved beams. Based on the verification program, the ultimate bearing capacity of 1890 curved beams is analyzed, and the calculation results are normalized. Finally, formulas for the stability design of curved beams are proposed. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, designers, graduate students, and faculty in civil engineering and related fields at universities.
