Hello everybody

KawaMinaii:
Take a look in any number of Structural or Civil Engineering handbooks, and basic Structural Engineering Analysis textbooks. The subject of various kinds of arches is covered. Then move to text books which cover the construction material you are considering. Arches have been in use for a long time, there are plenty of examples out there. Pay attention to humidity control within the building as this relates to deterioration of the structure, its various details, cladding and fenestration.

Thank you all for replying. I have found useful hints in structural analysis source books on the curved beams and structural design of arch.
