Mechanism of Arch support
• Shape: Wedge shaped. Central stone as keystone.
• Staples: Inferior edges of the stones are tied together.
• Tie beam: connecting the ends to prevent separation of
pillars and sagging of the arch.
• Suspension bridge: Multiple supports suspending the arch
from the cable above the level of bridge.
