Structural Analysis III Assignment On: Arches

Last Date of Submission: 05/05/2018 Marks: 03


Q1: Draw the bending moment diagram for the three hinged triangular arch shown below.

Q2: What is a funicular structure? Show that the triangular arch shown below is funicular, under
the applied loading. [You have to show that the bending moment and radial shear (┴ to the axis of
arch) is zero everywhere on the arch, and it carries axial force (compression) only]

Q3: A three hinged segmental arch of span 40 m and rise 8 m carries a concentrated load of 120kN
at a horizontal distance of 10 m from the left end. Draw the bending moment diagram, indicating
the magnitude and location of maximum positive and negative moments.

Q4: A circular segmental three hinged arch hinged at the ends and at the crown has a span of 18
m and a rise of 4.5 m. Loading on the arch is shown in fig. below. Draw the bending moment
diagram for the arch.
Q5: Drive an expression for increase in horizontal thrust in a three hinged arch of span l and rise
h, subjected to a rise of temperature of T O C.
Q6: A segmental arch has a span of 40 metres and a rise of 8 metres and is hinged at the springings.
Both the hinges are at the same level. The arch supports a load of 100 kN at the crown. Find the
horizontal thrust at each support and maximum bending for the arch. Also, draw the bending
moment diagram.

Q7: The three hinged semicircular arch shown in the fig. below is subjected to loads on rigidly
connected brackets. Find the support reactions; bending moment, normal thrust, and radial shear
at F.

Q8: Derive an expression for horizontal thrust generated in a two hinged arch subjected to a
temperature rise of T 0 C, if the arch is
a) Semicircular b) Parabolic
Q9: A two-hinged parabolic arch has span of 20 m and a rise of 5 m and carries a uniformly
distributed load of 20 kN/m for a distance of 5 m from the left end. Determine
(i) The horizontal thrust at each support, and
(ii) Bending moment, normal thrust and radial shear at a section of the arch 5 m from the left
end.
Q10: What is a linear arch? State Eddy’s theorem.
