39.
There are two hinged semicircular arches A, B and C of radii 5 m, 7.5 m and 10 m respectively and each carries a concentrated load W at their crowns. The horizontal thrust at their supports will be in the ratio of
1 : 1 1/2 : 2
2 : 1 1/2 : 1
1 : 1 : 2
none of these.

H = W/π. So D is the right answer.

Yes, @Snehal.

It is 1 : 1 : 1.

Horizontal Trust of 2 Hinged Semicircular arch is independent of its Radius.

Horizontal Trust = W/pi.

I think it is 1 : 1 : 1.

Sagar said:   1 decade ago
Answer is D because in this case horizontal trust is irrespective of radius of arch.
