    This document describes an experimental apparatus for analyzing three-hinged arches. The apparatus allows students to study symmetrical and unsymmetrical arches under various loads, including point loads, distributed loads, and moving loads. It measures the horizontal thrust on the supports and determines the lines of influence. The apparatus includes aluminum arch sections, weights to apply loads, and accessories to conduct experiments on arches and analyze the results.

    Three Hinged Arch Apparatus (EDC-MM-113)

    EXPERIMENTAL DATA:

     Familiarization with three-hinged arches


    (unsymmetrical and symmetrical)
     Application of the method of sections and
    the conditions of equilibrium to calculate
    the support forces for
    o point load
    o distributed load
    o moving load
     Investigation of the influence of the load
    on the horizontal thrust in the supports
     Determination of the lines of influence for
    the supports under a moving load
     Relationship between horizontal thrust at
    arch springing for varying applied loads
     Simulation of vehicle passing over arch
    using tandem rolling load
     Comparison of theory with experimental
    results

    DESCRIPTION:

    Three Hinged arch form is usually used while constructing bridges This type of construction is deemed
    suitable when compression-proof building materials are available.
    Horizontal thrust acts at the supports to allow much lower bending moments in the arch than in the case of a
    beam on two supports with the same span. A longitudinal compressive force is active in the arch to cause this
    effect.
    A three-hinged arch consists of a curved beam mounted on two fixed supports and usually featuring the so-
    called crown hinge at its top. The hinges on the two fixed supports absorb vertical and horizontal forces, and
    are known as abutment hinges. Their connecting line is the springing line. The crown hinge renders the system
    statically determinate.
    One meter flat bridge deck is formed using two symmetrical arches. The arches have springing's (hinges) at
    their outer most ends and at the crown (center), thus creating the three hinges.
    Two easily interchangeable arch arrangements are supplied, one of which being a symmetrical arch and the
    other being an unsymmetrical arch. The arch bridge deck allows for unrestricted positioning of the loads along
    the arch span.
