Measure space to be arched, width, and arch height. Determine size of stones to be used. Determine number of stones. Divide angular width of arch by number of stones, to determine cut angle of stones. Build temporary support, lay stones, starting at each end, working upward, mortar (or not). Lay capstone. Remove temporary support.
They used a keystone. It is a wedge-shaped piece at the top of an arch. It is the final piece placed to lock in the other stones of the arch.
The wedge-shaped stones that form the arch in a Romanesque church are called voussoirs. These stones are precisely shaped and stacked to create the curved structure of the arch, which helps distribute weight downwards and outwards. The arches in Romanesque architecture are known for their simple and sturdy design, reflecting the architectural style of the time.

Huddlestone Arch was built using the principles of compression and tension forces, where the stones were arranged in an arch to distribute the load and transfer it downwards. The potential energy of the stones was converted to kinetic energy during construction, as they were lifted and put into place. Gravitational potential energy played a role as stones were lifted against gravity, and this energy was released once the stones were in place, holding up the arch.
Arch distributes the pressure of the building's weight to the supporting columns and walls. To build arch, position the wooden framework called scaffolding and the wooden centrings frames, then place the arch stones or voussoirs on the top of the frames. Once the keystones are in place, remove the scaffolding and fill the space above the arch.
don't you mean: what does the gill arch do in a fish?!
The main bad guy.
Arch means "Chief" or "Principal" angel.
A brick or wedge-shaped stone forming an arch is called a "voussoir." These stones are positioned and interlocked to create the curve of the arch and distribute the weight evenly downwards and outwards to the supporting columns or walls.
Any part of a curved line., Usually a curved member made up of separate wedge-shaped solids, with the joints between them disposed in the direction of the radii of the curve; used to support the wall or other weight above an opening. In this sense arches are segmental, round (i. e., semicircular), or pointed., A flat arch is a member constructed of stones cut into wedges or other shapes so as to support each other without rising in a curve., Any place covered by an arch; an archway; as, to pass into the arch of a bridge., Any curvature in the form of an arch; as, the arch of the aorta., To cover with an arch or arches., To form or bend into the shape of an arch., To form into an arch; to curve., Chief; eminent; greatest; principal., Cunning or sly; sportively mischievous; roguish; as, an arch look, word, lad., A chief.
