Abstract
Ordinary transformed catenary arch is subjected to a reduced load whose upper rim is a straight line and lower rim the arch itself. Considering the actual load condition, writer obtained a solution for an arch whose reduced load being represented by a cubic parabola for its upper rim and the lower rim the arch itself. Comparing this arch to the ordinary transformed catenary arch, writer found many points to be studied.
