A circular segmental three hinged arch of span 32m and rise of 4m is hinged at the crown and springings. It carries a horizontal load of 1000N/m covering full height of the arch on left side. The horizontal thrust on the right springing will be

A two hinged semicircular arch carries a point load of 25kN at a section, the radius vector makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal thrust if span is 20m.

The locus of reaction of a two-hinged semi-circular arch is

A cable of insignificant weight 20 m long, is supported at its two ends 16 m apart at the same level. The cable supports at its mid reach a load of 120 N. The tension in the cable is nearly

In the cable shown in the figure below, the minimum tension occurs at

A three hinged parabolic arch of span 18m and rise 4m carries udl of 20kN/m, over the entire span. Find increase in rise of arch if the arch is subjected to rise in temperature of 40°C. Take α = 12 x 10^-6 per °C.

There are two hinged semi-circular arches A, B and C of radii 5 m, 7.5 m and 10 m respectively and each carries a concentrated load W at their crowns. The horizontal thrust at their supports will be in the ratio of

A three hinged arch of span 5 m and rise 1.5 m carries a uniform distributed load of 120 kN/m over the whole span. The horizontal thrust on each support is
