In the design process of an arch bridge, the designer may decide to stiffen the hangers linking the arch and the deck, usually in order to reduce the internal forces or the deflections. In this paper, the effect of stiffened hangers on the longitudinal in-plane structural behavior of arch bridges is studied. Then, the effect of the stiffness of the hangers and the relevance of the arch–deck relative stiffness are shown. The paper also describes how stiff hangers with a hinge—either at the bottom or the top—combine very high structural efficiency and ease of execution. Once the advantages of stiff hangers are described and a possible drawback is highlighted. The problem may arise for stiffened hangers, as the bending moments near the ends of...
