Two-Hinged Arch Description:
The model has a span of 100 cm and rise 25 cm. both ends are hinged, but one of the ends is also free to move longitudinally. Load may be applied at various points equidistant along the horizontal span of the arch horizontal movement of one end due to the load can be neutralized by applying a known horizontal in word force with the help of a lever arrangement fitted at this end, thus the horizontal thrust measured. Influence line diagram for thrust may also be obtained. This illustrates the behavior of elastic arches, which are statically in terminated.
