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.
