A.

Attempt following question

Que. 1 Discuss: Arch and It’s types.

Que. 2 Explain Eddy’s theorem for bending moment of arch.

Que. 3 Based on property of circle, differentiate types of three hinged arch and
derive it’s equation.

Que. 4 Explain: Bending moment diagrams for three hinge arch.

B. Attempt following example

Ex:1 A three hinge symmetric circular arch has a span of 36m and from a rise of
6 m. determine the bending moment, normal thrust and radial shear at 9 m
from left support, if the arch is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of
intensity 30 kN/m over a left half portion and a concentrated load of 60 kN
at 27 m from left springing. Draw the bending moment diagram for it.

Ex:2 If the above problem has a parabolic shape what will be its bending
moment, normal thrust and radial shear. Draw the bending moment
diagram for it.

Ex:3 A symmetric three hinge parabolic arch has a span of 40 m and a central
rise of 7 m. the arch carries a distributed load which uniformly load from
40 kN/m at 20m to mid span. Determine
(a) Reactions and respective angle
(b) The horizontal thrust at the abutments.
(c) Maximum positive and negative bending moment in the arch.

Ex:4 A three hinged symmetric parabolic arch of span 80 m and rise 16 m is

subjected to a concentrated load of 60 kN and acting at 16 m from its left
support and uniformly distributed load of intensity 20 kN/m acting over its
entire right half portion. Draw the Bending Moment diagram.

Ex:5 A symmetric three hinged parabolic arch of span 72 m and rise 12 m is

subjected to a point load of 240 kN at a point 24 m from its left support.
Draw the Bending Moment diagram.
