tension or compression? All diagonals are at 45 degrees to the vertical.

Incorrect

Mark -0.33 out

of 1.00

Select one:
a. 515 kN in tension

b. 211 kN in compression  The highest force in any member will

occur in horizontal members near to where one might expect the
maximum bending moment to have been were this structure considered to
be a beam, rather than a truss.

Question In the following parabolic three-pin arch, what is the bending moment at

the quarter point?

Incorrect

Mark -0.33 out

of 1.00

Select one:
a. 81.5 km in hogging

b. 240 kNm in hogging

c. 1400 kNm in hogging  Because this arch is parabolic in shape
the UDL is irrelevant to any bending moments. Solve this by splitting the
structure in two at the internal pin, and solve by taking moments about the
pin. This will allow you to calculate the reactions, which in turn will let you
calculate the moment at the quarter points by taking a cut at that
position.

d. 0 kNm

Your answer is incorrect.

The correct answer is: 240 kNm in hogging
