4) Question.
If a three hinged parabolic arch carries a uniformly distributed load over the entire span, then any section of the arch is subjected to
Answer.For a three-hinged parabolic arch subjected to a uniformly distributed load over its entire span, any section of the arch is subjected to normal thrust only.This is because the parabolic shape of the arch is the funicular curve for a uniformly distributed load. This means the line of thrust of the load coincides perfectly with the axis of the arch, eliminating any bending moment or shear force throughout the structure. The internal forces are purely compressive, resulting in only a normal thrust at every section -
