This product helps students to understand how loads affect the horizontal reaction forces in a fixed arch.

Learning Outcomes

• Horizontal reaction and fixing moment due to a varying single point load on a statically indeterminate structure
• Horizontal reaction and fixing moment due to a moving single point load on a statically indeterminate structure
• Horizontal reactions and fixing moment due to a uniformly distributed load on a statically indeterminate structure
• Influence lines and superposition
• Lines of thrust in an arch

Features

• A simplified version of a realistic structure to give students an understanding of real-life structures
• Includes multiple loads for many combinations of loads including uniformly distributed loads (UDLs)
• Supplied with a storage tray to keep smaller items safe
• Direct reading of horizontal reaction and fixing moment for quick and simple experiment
