The GUNT SE 110.17 - Three-Hinged Arch is designed to study the structural behavior of three-hinged arch bridges, a common construction method using compression-resistant materials. It allows users to investigate horizontal thrust, vertical and horizontal support reactions, and bending moments under point, distributed, and moving loads, providing practical insight into statically determinate arch behavior.
Product Features
- Three-hinged arch consisting of two long arch segments and one short segment
- Hinged joints enable creation of symmetrical or unsymmetrical arch configurations
- Supports application of point, distributed, and moving loads
- Weights compensate for support reactions of abutment hinges to compare calculated and measured values
- Allows analysis of horizontal thrust, vertical forces, and bending moments in arches
- All components clearly laid out and securely housed in a storage system
- Complete experimental setup arranged in frame SE 112 for stability and usability
Benefits
- Provides hands-on experience in three-hinged arch bridge behavior under load
- Enables study of horizontal thrust and support reactions
- Supports verification of theoretical calculations with experimental results
- Ideal for civil and structural engineering education and bridge design training
