Abstract
To this day, when it comes down to analyzing arches for their strength, stability, and vibration, the theory of arches is well developed and mature. On the other hand, in some cases, real-world engineering requirements are unable to be satisfied with the current theory of arches. These requirements are related to arch-like structures becoming more and more complex, being subjected to different loading conditions, and generally being exploited to a greater extent, and as a result exhibiting a completely new pattern of behavior. We list several problems related to the theory of arches that require extra careful attention from engineers and researchers.
