Three Hinged Arch

Three Hinged Arch

• Three hinged arch in symmetrical and interchangeable unsymmetrical arrangements
• Symmetrical arch; Rise = 200mm, span 1000mm
• Unsymmetrical arch: Rise = 250mm, span =750mm
• Load cell measures horizontal thrust
• Eight calibrated load bars supplied; 12.5N/m each
• Rolling loads of 10N and 25N with joining link
• Multiple load positions achievable
• Must be used with universal Frame and Stand (sold separately)
• Must be used with Interface (sold separately)
• Comprehensive instruction manual provided

Experimental Capabilities:

• Relationship between horizontal thrust at arch springing for varying applied loads
• Simulation of vehicle passing over arch using tandem rolling load
• Value of horizontal thrust at arch springing
• Comparison of theory with experimental results
• Influence line for horizontal thrust
• Use of influence line for a tandem rolling load
• Understand characteristics of symmetrical and unsymmetrical three hinged arch
