Abstract This paper is a theoretical approach to solve
problems of horizontally curved beams Castiglione's
theorem is applied to solve for the fixed end bending
moments, maximum span moments and fixed end torsional
moments. To calculate the vertical deflection at the midspan
of the curved beam the moment-area method is used.
Equations are derived and solved by digital computer for
different loading conditions and geometrical conditions.
A moment distribution method is introduced for solving the
problem of a multi-span horizontally curved beam.
