A 3 hinged parabolic arch of 40 meters span as shown in the figure is subjected to gravity uniformly distributed load of 50 kN/m on the left half span of the arch. The vertical support reactions and horizontal thrust produced are represented at their respective supports. Determine the location (in meters) of maximum positive (sagging) bending moment occurred in arch span measured from support B.
