Arch Parameters
Rise/Span Ratio:
0.30
Load Position:
50
%
Point Load:
10
kN
Arch Type:
Parabolic
Circular
Catenary
When thrust line stays within the arch, the structure is stable.
The
thrust line
shows the path of compressive force through an arch. If it exits the arch profile, tension develops — stone/concrete arches cannot resist tension and may crack.
