EXPERIMENT
HERE’S HOW
Build the three shapes on this page. All three
use only three rods, but each forms a different
shape. Push down on the top of the arches.
What happens?
Forces in the arch
WHAT’S HAPPENING
When you push down on the top of the arch, the sides of the arch
bow outward. Imagine you had forces pushing downward and
inward along the entire length of the arch. If the sides were
prevented from being pushed outward, then the top of the arch
would be prevented from being pushed downward. This is the
principle behind why the arch is such a strong structural shape,
and why it is used in so many buildings. The inner surface of an
arch is under compression. The arch channels forces down from
the top through the sides and down to the base.

An arch is a curved structure that is
symmetrical on both sides and spans an
opening. It often supports a load on top
of it; e.g., a wall, bridge, or roof.
