Typical Detail of lintel and Arch over wall opening in AutoCAD, dwg files.

This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Typical Detail of lintel and Arch over wall opening in AutoCAD, dwg files. The lintel has a horizontal beam, whereas the arch has a curved top and both are resting on two supports. An Arch can carry a higher amount of load as compared to lintel. Because of the higher loading capacity of the arch, the pressure downward on an arch has the effect of forcing the voussoirs together instead of ...In architecture, an arch is an opening in a structure that is curved on top and designed to distribute weight.
