Catenary Arch Curve of idealized hanging chain when supported at its ends. Acted on only by its own weigh
Euler proved in 1744 that the catenary is the curve which, when rotated about the x-axis, gives the surface of minimum surface area (the catenoid) for the given bounding circle. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Catenoid.html
Arch Bridge • Semicircular structure • Rigid span • Curving upward between two points of support • Transfers the weight of the bridge and its load partially into a horizontal thrust • Horizontal thrust is restrained by the abutments at either side
