YIELDING ARCH

Domain	Definition
Mining	Steel arch installed in an underground mine. Arches are employed to support loads caused by changing ground movement or faulted and fractured rock. They are designed so that when the ground load exceeds the design load of the arch as installed, yielding takes place in the joint of the arch, permitting the overburden to settle into a natural arch of its own,thus tending to bring all forces into equilibrium.
