Construction Build a frame which exactly follows the form of the

underside of the arch.For an arch higher than head height, scaffolding would in any case be required by the builders, so the scaffolding can be combined with the arch support.

Technical aspects

• All the forces are resolved into compressive stresses• All the compressive forces hold it together in a state of equilibrium• One downside is that anarch pushes outward at the base• The principle of the arch is used so as to benefit from the concrete's strength in resisting compressive stress
