18. A two hunged parabolic area of span l and rise r carries a uniformly distributed load of w per water run over the left hand half of the span. The moment of inertia of the area sub varies as the recaut of the slopes of the rib axis.
(a) Obtain an expression for the horizoudal thrust H.
(b) Calculate the horizontal thrust
and bending moment at
5.0m from left end if span = 20m; rise = 4.0m and load
= 20kN/m.
19. A suspeusion cable is of 130.0m horizontal span is supported at the same level. It is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 30kN/m on horizontal span. If the maximum tension is the cable is limited to 5000kN, calculate the minimum central dip needed.
(or)
