Robert Hooke, 1676:Robert Hooke, 1676:
"The true mathematical and mechanical form of all manner of arches for building, with the true butment necessary to each of them. A problem which no architectonick writer hath ever yet attemted, much less performed”
"As hangs the flexible line, so but inverted will stand the rigid arch."

"When an arch of any other figure is supported, it is because in its thickness some catenaria is included"

Samuel JohnsonSamuel Johnson "If the elliptical arch be equally strong
with the semicircular, that is, if an arch, by approaching to a straight line, looses none of its stability, it will follow that all arcuation is useless…
But if a straight line will bear no weight, which is evident to the first view, it is plain like wise that an ellipsis will bear very little, and that as an arch is more curved its strength is increased."
![Page 36: Concrete 99 Sydney May 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813e3a550346895da82011/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
““Publicus” (believed to be Robert Publicus” (believed to be Robert Mylne himself)Mylne himself)
"…so that, if I understand it right, all from the haunches of the arch downward becomes a pier or abutment, to support a small part of the arch in the middle as a segment of a circle.
This middle part, if built like other arches would make a lateral pressure against these abutments, but to take that away he has placed cubical stones, which he calls joggles, in the joints of the arch; so that every stone tends to fall perpendicularly by its being carried along with the one above it, and nor shoved aside as in other arches, which is the cause of the lateral pressure."

Properties of the ideal arch materialProperties of the ideal arch material
High compressive strength at comparatively low cost.
The ability to form any desired shape cheaply and accurately.
Erection without elaborate formwork. Low maintenance and excellent durability,
particularly under compression.
