    Horizontal thrust is not much affected by vertical movement of support as compared to side movements. When ur support settles horizontally, Thrust decreases bcz of the temperature stresses. And bending moment increases as well.
    Is ko counter krny k lye 2 hinged mein ik support ko roller bnadety hain, aor arch ki rise ko increase kar dety hain.
