How Stone Arches Are Built: Anatomy and Construction Principles #13529 (License: Personal Use)

This line drawing depicts a traditional voussoir arch constructed from wedge-shaped stones (voussoirs), converging at a central keystone that locks the structure in place. A dashed radial line extends from the springing point to the arch’s apex, indicating the geometric centerline used in layout and load transfer analysis. The vertical jambs and horizontal impost blocks complete the foundational support system.
