Chapter 5 PDF

1. The document discusses analysis of cables and arches subjected to different load conditions. It provides examples of determining internal forces in cables and arches. 2. Cables can be analyzed using equilibrium equations to determine tensions when subjected to concentrated or uniform distributed loads. Arches can be analyzed as fixed, three-hinge, or two-hinge systems to determine internal forces at different sections. 3. Examples show applying equations of equilibrium to solve for tensions in cables and internal forces like moment, shear and axial force in arches at different sections for given support conditions and loads.
