Rome focused on architectural design, so the more difficult and elaborate the building, the better. At that time, arches were both uncommon and difficult. When Rome mastered the center stone (middle stone of an arch,) they put arches everywhere, from bridges to windows.
Why were bronze tools better than those made of stone?
Bronze tools were better than stone tools because bronze is harder, more durable, and holds a sharper edge. This made them more effective for cutting, shaping, and striking objects, giving them a longer lifespan and making them more efficient for various tasks.
How has the arch change over time?
The design of arches has evolved over time from simple semicircular or pointed arches in ancient architecture to more elaborate and decorative designs like horseshoe, ogee, or Moorish arches in later periods. Advancements in engineering and construction techniques have also allowed for the creation of larger and more complex arches, such as those seen in modern architectural wonders like bridges and skyscrapers.
Does the pointed arch hold more weight then the rounded arch?
Yes, it does. Part of its strength comes from the use of flying buttresses as added support. Typically, pointed arches are used to support thinner walls for aesthetic purposes, but can handle increased overhead weight.AnswerI'm almost positive that it does. I think it is the keystone (very center stone in a rounded arch) that is the downfall of a rounded arch. This only holds so much weight. I believe that the pointed arch holds most of its weight on the "legs"

What is caved ankles?
caved in ankles occur when the weight of your body is pushed to the centre of your arch in the feet. your feet can look more flat and your ankles appear crooked. most peoples body weight is pushed to the outside of your foot, opposite to the arch, but caved ankles push the weight to the arch. This causes the feet to lean inwards. Sometimes if you have recently gained weight your arch can appear more flat, and the ankles can begin to cave due to extra weight pressuring the arch. Things like foot inserts or orthopedic shoes cancan help caved ankles, and help support the arch, bringing the angle up to a straighter position.

Why did Roman architects frequently use the archvaultand dome in construction?
Roman architects frequently used the arch, vault, and dome in construction because these structural elements allowed for the creation of larger and more stable spaces than traditional post-and-lintel systems. The arch distributes weight more evenly, enabling the construction of monumental structures like aqueducts and amphitheaters. Vaults and domes further expanded interior spaces and provided aesthetically pleasing, open designs, as seen in famous structures like the Pantheon. This innovative use of geometry and engineering facilitated the grandeur and durability characteristic of Roman architecture.
What makes the arch superior to the post and lintel?
Given the same construction materials (originally stone) an arch is tremendously stronger than a post and lintel. You can pile much more weight on an arch without causing it to collapse, as compared to the post and lintel; the lintels break much more easily.
What is a weakness to a arch bridge?
