Masonry arches utilize the compressive strength of brick and stone to span openings by transforming the vertical forces of a supported load into inclined components. Roman arch has a semicircular intrados. Intrados is the inner curve of the visible face of an arch The soffit is the inner surface of an arch forming the concave surface

Voussoir – any of the wedge shaped units in a masonry arch, having side cuts converging at one of the arch centers. brick course work or individual stone. Skewback is a stone or course of masonry having a sloping face against which the end of a segmental arch rests.

The keystone is the wedge-shaped, often embellished voussoir at the crown of an arch. Crown – topmost part of the arch Arch axis Extrados is the exterior curve or boundary of the visible face of an arch. Spring is the point at which an arch, vault, or dome rises from its support Springing line

Rise – is the height of an arch from the springing line to the highest point of the soffit Span Spandrel – is the triangular-shaped area between the extrados of two adjoining arches,

Composition of Concrete There are many types of concrete available, created by varying the proportions of the main ingredients below. In this way or by substitution for the cementitious and aggregate phases, the finished product can be tailored to its application with varying strength, density, or chemical and thermal resistance properties.

Cementitious - Any of various building materials which may be mixed with a liquid, such as water, to form a plastic paste, and to which an aggregate may be added; includes cements, limes, and mortar.

"Aggregate" consists of large chunks of material in a concrete mix, generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with finer materials such as sand.

"Cement", commonly Portland cement, serve as a binder for the aggregate.

Water is then mixed with this dry composite, which enables it to be shaped (typically poured) and then solidified and hardened into rock-hard strength through a chemical process called hydration. The water reacts with the cement, which bonds the other components together, creating a robust stone-like material.

"Chemical admixtures" are added to achieve varied properties "Chemical admixtures" are added to achieve varied properties. These ingredients may speed or slow down the rate at which the concrete hardens.

"Reinforcements" are often added to concrete "Reinforcements" are often added to concrete. Concrete can be formulated with high compressive strength, but always has lower tensile strength. For this reason it is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel).
