Abstract
ABSTRACT The design of arches is considered from the view point of minimizing the static and temperature stresses. The catenary shape of arch is most satisfactory, as it allows the use of a high arch with good stability. Some actual designs are worked out to illustrate the method of calculating a catenary arch.
