Concept:

The influence line diagram for thrust in parabolic arch:

The horizontal thrust due to a concentrated load W at a distance x from end A is given by:

\({\rm{H}} = \frac{5}{8}\frac{{\rm{W}}}{{{{\rm{L}}^3}{\rm{h}}}}{\rm{x}}\left( {{\rm{L}} - {\rm{x}}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{L}}^2} + {\rm{xL}} - {{\rm{x}}^2}} \right)\)

Which is a 4° parabolic equation.

Now, to draw influence line diagram for horizontal thrust, W = 1 kN

\({\rm{H}} = \frac{5}{{8{\rm{h}}{{\rm{L}}^3}}}{\rm{x}}\left( {{\rm{L}} - {\rm{x}}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{L}}^2} + {\rm{xL}} - {{\rm{x}}^2}} \right)\)

\(\Rightarrow {\rm{H}} = \frac{5}{{8{\rm{h}}}}{\rm{x}}\left( {1 - \frac{{2{{\rm{x}}^2}}}{{{{\rm{L}}^2}}} + \frac{{{{\rm{x}}^3}}}{{{{\rm{L}}^3}}}} \right)\)
