The arch was invented by the Etruscans. The arch then was the only known way of building a roofed structure without using beams. The arch is also capable to support heavy loads and made it easier to build large buildings and bridges. The arch is not needed much nowadays because there are other techniques to sustain heavy weights, such as the suspension bridge and the use of steel frameworks and reinforced concrete for buildings.

Why is the arch important?
The arch is important because it is a marvelous way to structurally support the mass of a building roof, a railway line, or an aqueduct, like the ones the Romans built. Some of the arches built by Romans stand today, and they offer a mute testament to the effectiveness of the arch in engineering. The arch is still in wide use today, and we even see big glue-lams (wood glued to laminate it to make large beams) in the shape of arches. The arch has a long history in structures man has built. And, to there are other ways to span large open areas, the arch still shows no signs that it won't be around to span more modest distances to create open space beneath.
