Two Pinned Arch

Two Pinned Arch

•    Students apply loads to hangers suspended from the arch, held between two supports.
•    One support allows rotational movement only, acting as a pinned support.
•    The other support allows translational movement, acting as a roller support.
•    A load cell prevents the translation, while measuring the horizontal reaction due to the load.
•    Each support includes pointers that work with the scale on the platform for accurate positioning.
•    Students use textbook equations to predict the reaction forces due to the load, comparing them with measured results, and learn how to create the influence line and bending moment diagrams.
•    This helps confirm the reliability of the textbook equations and the accuracy of the experiment results.
•    This product includes additional masses so students may apply a uniformly distributed load (UDL) across the span of the arch for comparison of results with a single point load.
•    The load cell connects to the USB interface hub of the Structures platform for computer display and data acquisition.
