The stress analytic method of arch dam covers pure arch method, archbeam sharing method, finite element method, calculating method of shell theory and structural model test method.
拱坝的应力分析方法包括纯拱法、拱梁分载法、有限元法、壳体理论计算方法和结构模型试验法。

As a method of spanning space, the arch can support greater weight than a horizontal beam.
作为一种跨越空间的方法，拱能够承受比水平梁更大的重量。

The structure is resolved into several compound elements and every compound element consist of three parts: arch, trussed beam and lateral brace.
