Arch Masonry Calculations
 The quantities of masonry work in arch is calculated by multiplying

the mean length of arch by breadth of wall and by the thickness of

arch.

 In the case of culvert, the quantity of arch masonry work is equal to

the length of arch face to face * mean length of arch * thickness of

arch.
