I believe "arch" is the usual architectural term (no pun intended) - not "arc"

| Jan 2, 2017 at 22:21 | comment | added | AnoE | I encourage you to look for the "Bridge Construction Set" game. It simulates bridges and your task as player is to construct ever more complicated ones. Sure, the simulation will not be 100% accurate, but it is semi-realistic, and will give you a lot of appreciation if you watch real life bridges (and other, similar, constructions) later! | |

| Jan 2, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | user130529 | I guess a simple explanation is that bars hold larger loads under compression than under extension. | |
