نبذة مختصرة : This paper presents an analytical solution of the simply supported horizontally composite curved I-beam by trigonometric series considering the effect of partial interaction in the tangential direction. Governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained by using the Vlasov curved beam theory and the principle of minimum potential energy. The deflection functions and the Lagrange multiplier functions are expressed as trigonometric series to satisfy the governing equations and the simply supported constraints at both ends. The numerical results of deflections and forces which are obtained by this method are compared with both FEM results and experimental results, and the inaccuracy between the analytical solutions in this paper and the FEM results is small and reasonable.
