A three-hinged parabolic arch in Figure Q4 is hinged at point and pinned at points A and B. The arch carries a horizontal concentrated load of 15 kN at point S and an uniform distributed load of 25 kN/m at point R to C. Find the values of moment at R, shear force and normal thrust force at point S. Note that the height of points R and S from level point A is 4.4 m and the slope angle of segment at points Rand Sis 41.63º. (15 marks) 25 kN/m с R S 15 kN B h = 8 m YR = 4.4 m Ys = 4.4 m A 4 m 8 m 8 m '2m
