RES keeps this link blue so I click on it everytime I check the front page. This was my 15th visit and I still don't get it. Just like every comment here. ಠ_ಠ

Science question: Which one is technically stronger?

[–]Roboticide 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm only an architecture student - I haven't done any in depth structural analysis classes - but I'm inclined to believe the right one is stronger. It has fewer, larger pieces, which present fewer points of failure. More importantly, the keystone is larger, which is bearing a most of the compressive stress. If the keystone decays too much as the arches age, it would result in collapse, so the larger stone of the right is better.

This is assuming both are part of some structure. Who'd just build two standing arches? Gateway not withstanding...

[–]alxrymnd914 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To me, it looks like the left one is more stable. The two sides are actually leaning in, unlike the one on the right. It doesn't look like the one on the right would work. I think the middle pieces on the right arch would push the two sides out because the sides are standing straight up. On the left arch, they wouldn't get push out because they are leaning against the middle stones. That's just a guess.

[–]mobyhead1 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe you're right. Portions of the right arch certainly lie outside the angle of repose for the material. Portions of the left arch may also be outside the angle of repose, but not nearly as far as portions of the right arch. The angle of repose is why the pyramids had to be built with sloped shapes rather than vertically. The right arch, by itself, might need reinforcement (such as with steel tensioners) if it was expected to carry a serious load. The left arch is a superior design for a freestanding arch (or an arch that supports a road surface at one point, such as in a bridge), while the right arch, repeated again and again, works nicely to support objects such as aqueducts and arcade roofs (the successive arches would naturally buttress each other, as would a solid wall surrounding such an arch).

The op arches were made of individual stones. Different.

[–]jdmulloy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As they are they're pretty unstable since there's nothing surrounding them.

[–]super567 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As pictured the one on the right is more top heavy and hence more likely to tip over forward or backward

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Which one can support more load? I'm guessing right one.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the left one needs renforcing anyway

[–]jklol 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yes, because when i evaluate the architectural strength of an arch, my primary concern is whether it'll tip over forward or backwards, and not the stress distribution over each component of the arch.

[–]what_eye_see -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The right one. The left on doesn't appear to have a keystone so it would just collapse instantly.

It should've had a round arch and a pointed arch.
