Why is cement not needed between the stone blocks of an arch that has the shape of an inverted catenary?

Cement is not needed between the stone blocks of an arch shaped like an inverted catenary because the shape allows the stones to effectively transfer compressive forces to one another. The catenary shape ensures that the weight of the arch and any loads applied to it are distributed evenly along the curve, allowing the stones to stay in place due to their own weight. This design relies on gravity and the interlocking nature of the stones, making additional binding material unnecessary for structural stability.
