a) Figure Q3(a) shows a symmetrical three-hinged parabolic arch that is pinned at supports A and B, and has a hinge at point C. A vertical concentrated load of 35 kN is acting at C and horizontal concentrated load of 45 kN is acting at E. Segment DB is subjected to a uniformly distributed vertical load of 15 kN/m. 15 kN/m 35 KN 45 KN 20 m 18 m 2 m 15m 28 m 7 m Figure Q3(a) Analyze the reactions at supports A and B. i) Analyze the shear force and axial thrust at point F.
