\u00a0WEEK THREE
\n\t\t\t<\/strong>Topic: <\/strong>Construction of Arches: Semi-elliptical, Segmental, Semi-circular.
\n\t\t\t\t<\/strong>
\n\u00a0Content:
\n<\/strong>(i) Meaning of arch.
\n(ii) Typical structure of an arch.
\n(iii)Types of arch and construction e.gSemi-elliptical, Segmental, Semi-circular.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Meaning of an arch
\nAn arch could be defined as a curved structure that is supported by straight sides sometimes created in wall openings such as doors or windows of a building. In buildings, arches act as lintel because they have the ability to support the weight of blocks and other materials placed upon them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Typical structure of an arch
\nA typical structure of a semi-circular arch consist in addition to the crown which is the highest point of the arch the intrados, extrados, rise, clear span, keystone, inpost,voussoir, abutment and run. See diagram below for a typical structure of a semi-circular arch.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0Evaluations
\n1. What is an arch?
\n2. Draw a typical structure of a semi-circular arch.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\u00a0Types of arch and construction e.gSemi-elliptical, Segmental, Semi-circular.
\n1. Semi-elliptical<\/strong>:
\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method of construction<\/strong>: To construct an elliptical arch when given the major axis(span) AB and the minor axis.
\n R is half the given minor axis.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Draw a line AB equal in length to the given major axis.
\nLocate the mid-point O on line AB. Draw a perpendicular OC at O equal in length to half the given minor axis. Note: Minor axis is by formulae half of the Major axis.
\nWith C as centre and radius equal to half the major axis, draw an arc to locate the positions of the focal points F and F1.
\nWith F1 as centre and radius F1F, draw an arc. Then with F as centre and radius equal to twice F1B, draw another to intersect the previous one at point Q. Repeat the same procedure to get the remaining points. Join the points together with a French curve to obtain the required arch.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"\/2. Segmental<\/strong>: As the name implies, this type of an arch has the shape of the segment of a circle. <\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method of construction<\/strong>: To construct a segmental arch when given the span AB and rise R.
\nDraw a line AB equal in length to the given span.
\nDraw the bisector of line AB.
\nMark off the rise R on the bisector to get point C.
\nJoin AC and BC.
\nDraw the bisector of lines AC and BC respectively to get point O.
\nWith O as centre and radius OB or OA, draw the required segmental arch.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"\/3. Semi-circular<\/strong>: This type of arch is semi-circular in shape; hence the name.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method of construction:<\/strong> To construct a semi-circular arch when given the span AB.
\nDraw a line AB equal to the length of the given span.
\nLocate the mid-point O.
\nWith O as centre and radius OB or OA, draw a semi-circle.
