curved beam defection equations

[lecotier]

Hi!
Where do I find the equations for deflection, egenfrequency and critical loads for curved beams, regardless of cross-section, and for all basic boundary conditions. I'm currently studying Fiber Composites and sandwich beams and panels.
Thank you [sig][/sig]

Lecotier,
You will find much information on curved concrete beams in Reynolds et al, Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook. The charts give u all basic values. Let me know if the information contained therein is useful. If so, I could email to u a comprehensive spreadsheet which does all what u may require but to BS.

Riz,
Thank you for recommending the book by Reynolds et al, Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook. I've looked after it in our university library. Unfortunately they don't have it. I might have to order it. In the meanwhile, I will be grateful if you could send me the spreadsheet you mentioned.
My e-mail adress is patrice.godonou@sicomp.se
Many thanks,
Patrice

Lecotier I am considering that u r familiar with BS.
Without Reynolds the spreadsheet is a jargon . It requires input from various charts within. It will be in your inbox at my very earliest
