Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a three-hinged arch with a span of 40m and a rise of 10m, calculate the horizontal reaction under a distributed load of 25kN/m. How would varying this load affect your calculations?
💡 Hint: Utilize equilibrium principles to factor changes systematically.
Design a parabolic arch intended to carry a uniform load of 50kN/m across a 30m span. Discuss the implications of your rise-to-span ratio and potential buckling scenarios.
💡 Hint: Emphasize balancing aesthetics with structural integrity.
