Tutorial 3 Dr. Shayani Mendis: C. The Dashed Member DE Is Intended To Carry No Force

The document discusses determining forces in a three-hinged trussed arch bridge subjected to loading. It asks the reader to calculate the horizontal and vertical reaction forces at hinges A, B and C of the truss. It also asks to determine the design heights h1, h2 and h3 of the bottom cord so that the truss responds like a parabolic arch under the given loading. Finally, it asks to find the horizontal and vertical reaction forces at hinges A and D, and the tension in member AD, for a three-hinged spandrel arch under a uniform load.

The bridge is constructed as a three-hinged trussed arch. Determine the


horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the hinges (pins) at A, B, and
C. The dashed member DE is intended to carry no force.

Tutorial 3 Determine the design heights h1, h2, and h3 of


the bottom cord of the truss so the three-hinged
Dr. Shayani Mendis trussed arch responds as a parabolic arch.

The arch structure is subjected to the loading shown. Determine the The three-hinged spandrel arch is subjected to the uniform
horizontal and vertical components of reaction at A and D, and the load of 20kN/m. Determine the internal moment in the arch at
