	Arch bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		An arch bridge (sometimes deck arch bridge to distinguish it from a through arch bridge) is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch.
		Stone and other such materials are strong in compression and somewhat so in shear, but cannot resist much force in tension so masonry arch bridges are designed to be constantly under compression.
		Once the basic arch is constructed the arches are stabilized with infill masonry between the arches, which may be laid in horizontal running bond courses, These may form two walls, which are then infilled with loose material and rubble.

		Arch bridges are one of the oldest types of bridges and have great natural strength.
		Instead of pushing straight down, the weight of an arch bridge is carried outward along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end.
		Built before the birth of Christ, the bridge is held together by mortar only in its top tier; the stones in the rest of the structure stay together by the sheer force of their own weight.
