Q.1 Describe the following:

(a) State Eddy’s theorem as applicable to arches?
(b) Define radial shear and normal thrust.

Q.2 A three hinged parabolic arch of span 25 25m and rise 5m carries a uniformly distributed
load of 50kN per meter on the whwhole span and a point load of 20kN kN at a distance of 5m from
the right end. Find the horizontal thrust, resultant reaction, bending moment and normal
thrust at a section 5m from the left end and 7m from right end.

Q.3 A circular three hinged arch of span 30

30mm with a central rise of 5m is hinged at the
crown and the end supports. It carries a point load of 100 kN at 6m from the left support and
150kN at 10m From right support.
.Calculate
(a) The reaction at the supports
(b) Moment at 5m from the left support.
(c) Maximum bending moment.
