1.
A three-hinged parabolic arch ABC has a span of 20 m and a central rise of 4 m. The arch has hinges at the ends at the centre. A train of two point loads of 20 kN and 10 kN, 5 m apart, crosses this arch from left to right, with 20 kN load leading. The maximum thrust induced at the supports is (a) 25.00 kN (b) 28.13 kN (c) 31.25 kN (d) 32.81 kN A three hinged parabolic arch having a span of 20 m and a rise of 5 m carries a point load of 10 kN at quarter span from the left end as shown in the figure. The resultant reaction at the left support and its inclination with the horizontal are respectively

(A) 9.01 kN and 56.31 (B) 9.01 kN and 33.69 (C) 7.50 kN and 56.31 (D) 2.50 kN and 33.69 A symmetric frame PQR consists of two inclined members PQ and QR, connected at Q with a rigid joint, and hinged at P and R. The horizontal length PR is l. If a weight W is suspended at Q, the bending moment at Q is (A) 2 Wl (B) 4 Wl (C) 8 Wl (D) zero
