Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
-
An arch is a curved structural element that spans an opening and supports loads from above by transferring them as compressive forces along its curve to the supports (abutments) at the ends.
-
Arches work mainly in compression, unlike beams which primarily resist bending.
-
They are widely used in bridges, doorways, tunnels, and buildings due to their ability to carry heavy loads efficiently.
-
The equation of a parabolic arch of span 'L' and central height h is given by \(y = 4h \times (L - x) / L^2\)
Additional InformationTypes of Arches:
- Three hinged arches
- Two hinged arches
- Fixed arches
