Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a more exact horizontally curv ed beam finite element in a cylindrical coordinate system. The variati on method is used to formulate the stiffness matrix and the results of the solution are compared with another study using a closed form solu tion. The stiffness matrix for a curved beam element can be used in an alyzing the behavior of horizontally curved bridges for either open or closed sections.
