Shown in figure below is the front elevatlon of a stable stone arch. The stone blocks are shaped to suit for the arch shape even without cement or any adhesive between them for binding. Stone is preferred because of Its property as Strong under shear stress. Strong under tensile stress. Strong under compressive stress. O Ductlle under compressive stress.
