List one advantage of using arches over beams.
Think about material usage.
What is the primary method arches use to support loads?
Consider the forces at play in an arch.
True or False: A parabolic arch can support uniform loads without bending moments.
Reflect on the characteristics of parabolic shapes.
Design a parabolic arch for a small pedestrian bridge with a 20 ft span and a 2 ft rise. Calculate the maximum axial load it can support.
Remember to consider the weight distribution across the arch.
Critique a given design of a semi-circular arch with a rise of 5 ft and a span of 30 ft. Identify potential weaknesses.
Focus on how the current design handles vertical and horizontal forces.
