Span of Arch in Three-hinged Circular Arch Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Span of Arch = 2*((sqrt((Radius of Arch^2)-((Ordinate of Point on Arch-Rise of arch)/Radius of Arch)^2))+Horizontal Distance from Support)
l = 2*((sqrt((R^2)-((y_Arch-f)/R)^2))+x_Arch)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Span of Arch - (Measured in Meter) - Span of Arch is the horizontal distance between the two supporting members of an arch.
Radius of Arch - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Arch is the radius of the circular arch's curvature.
Ordinate of Point on Arch - (Measured in Meter) - Ordinate of Point on Arch is the ordinate of any point along the central line of the arch. It basically gives the Equation for a three-hinged Parabolic arch.
Rise of arch - (Measured in Meter) - The Rise of arch is the vertical distance from the centerline to the arch’s crown. It is the highest point on the arch from the reference line.
Horizontal Distance from Support - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Distance from Support represents the horizontal distance from any support of the arch to the section being considered.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Arch: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Ordinate of Point on Arch: 1.4 Meter --> 1.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Rise of arch: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Horizontal Distance from Support: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l = 2*((sqrt((R^2)-((y_Arch-f)/R)^2))+x_Arch) --> 2*((sqrt((6^2)-((1.4-3)/6)^2))+2)

Evaluating ... ...

l = 15.9881422895941

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15.9881422895941 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15.9881422895941 ≈ 15.98814 Meter <-- Span of Arch

What is a Three-Hinged Arch?

A three-hinged arch is a geometrically stable and statically determinate structure. It consists of two curved members connected by an internal hinge at the crown and is supported by two hinges at its base. Sometimes, a tie is provided at the support level or at an elevated position in the arch to increase the stability of the structure.
