6. A two-hinged parabolic arch of span 40 m and central rise 6 m is carrying a point load of 120
kN at 5 m from right hand support. Determine the (i) horizontal thrust (ii) maximum positive
and negative moments, and (iii) vertical shear at 10 m from left hand support.

8. A suspension bridge of 120 m span has two three-hinged stiffening girders supported by two
cables having a central dip of 12 m. The roadway has a width of 6 m. The dead load on the
bridge is 5 kN/m2 while the live load is 10 kN/m 2 which acts on the left-half of the span.
Determine the shear force and bending moment in the girder at 30 m from left end. Find also
the maximum tension in the cable for position of live load.
