    What We Have Done Up to Today!
    • Arch Types and Terminology
    • Different types of arches.
    • Key terminology associated with arches.
    • Arch Evolution and Structural Analysis

    • Historical development of arches.


    (i) Egyptian period: False Arch
    (ii) Greek and Roman period: True or Arcuated Arch
    (iii) Medieval Arch: Pointed Gothic Arch
    (iv) Arabic Arch: Horseshoe Arch
    (v) Other geometric forms of Arch

    2. Arch and its structure behavior


    (i) Leonardo Da Vinci statement.
    (ii) Hooke’s experimental approach
    • Arch Theory with Frictionless Perspectives
    • Theoretical concepts of arches without friction.
    • Importance of friction in arch stability.

    (i) Philippe de la Hires application of statics to the solution of arch problem (1695)-

    • Q:𝐹1:𝐹2 = 𝐾𝐿:𝐶𝐾𝐶𝐿
    :

    (ii) 1729 – Pierre Couplet (1670-1744)-


    • Forces Acting on Arch and Stability Principles
    • Various forces influencing arch.
    • Friction cone: line of thrust must pass through the tips of the friction cone.

    • Stability principles governing arches.


    • Stress Analysis of Arch
    • Determining stresses within the arch.
    (i) Uniform Stress Distribution- (Young and Huerta)
    σ = σm( d + 6y)/d
    σm = N/db

    (ii) Advancement of Stress Analysis – (Bandhauer )


    σB(v) = N/bd × 1/(1 − v)
    v = 2e/d
    • Thrust Line Equation for Semicircular Arch
    • Mathematical formulation for the thrust line.
    • Importance in arch stability.

    General equation:

    Application(1):
    Equation of the thrust line is -

    Boundary conditions:
    ρ(0)= r+(a/2) at φ=0o
    ρ(π/2)= r+(a/2) at φ=π/2

    • Failure in Arches
    • Types of failures in arches.
    • Causes and implications.

    The arch can be fail in the below mentioned ways:


    1). Failure of abutment or pier.
    ■ Abutment displacement due to moisture and thermal expansion of the masonry
    ■ Insufficient abutment stiffness
    ■ Foundation settlement of abutments
    2). Sliding of Voussoirs
    3). Crushing of the masonry
    4). Rotation of some joints about an edge
    • Remedies or Strengthening for Arch Failures
    • Solutions to common failures.
    • Strengthening techniques.

    Methods(based on materials used):


    (i) Using fiberreinforced polymers (FRPs)
    (ii) Composite materials made of a fiber textile embedded in an inorganic matrix (cement mortar) or FRCM
    were recently proposed as alternatives to FRPs
    (iii) Basalt-FRLM (best)-strengthened arch exhibited higher displacement capacity when compared to arches
    strengthened with polymeric and cementitious matrix composites.
    • Construction of Arch
    • Construction methods.
