A three hinged circular arch has a span length of L and subtends at the centre of the circular curve an angle of 90°. The third hinge is located at the crown. The arch is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of w kN/m on the plan length. Calculate the equation of the bending moment in the arch as a function of the horizontal distance, x, from the crown, the span length, L, and the UDL w.
