The arches are usually precast assemblc in the site. The middle hinge
is eliminated after tJre placing finishing. RF bars for both the members are
welded tcgether ioint between the members filled with insitu concretc. The
structure is transformed to ttle two hinged arch rigidity is increased. The
movem,ents or motion
'rnder wind ]oad is reduced. The method is suitable
for eliminating all ttiee hinges. In this case a arch fixed at both ends is
obtained.
Arches can be pracast ia ye$ical and horizontal position. In vertical
position the shuttering made up of member or concrete is rcquired having
the same curyature of the arch prefabrication is larger. Arches in the
horizontal position are more economical.

Foundations:
The foundation of a Luilding may t e insitu or may consist of large
prefabricates. In either case, t}le underground structure must be very rigid
and must ensure an even distribution of loads over the plan area of the
builcling. Building assembled from prefabricates are very prone to the
formation of cracks in construction ioints. The designer must make certain
that the whole building witl settle evenly acting as a thre'dimension rigid
body.
As a role, insitu constxuction below ground level adequately ensures
an even distribution ofload over the plan area.
