Abstract Failure tests were conducted on two concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) truss arch bridges with a span of approximately 12 m to investigate the influence of initial geometric defects on the in-plane bearing capacity of CFST truss arch bridges. The effects of antisymmetric defect on the ultimate bearing capacity, failure mode, structural response, and steel–concrete confinement effect of CFST truss arch bridges under quarter-point loading were analyzed. On this basis, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the in-plane bearing capacity of CFST truss arch bridges further under different scenarios. The initial defect form of the arch… More >
