this paper for cement mortar arches under external bending and variously distributed loadings revealed that the failure ultimate capacity of thin arches attain values close to those prevailed for axial compression strength of mortar used. Furthermore, numerical simulation, using non-linear analysis, with finite shell elements and parametric loading distributions were close to the experimental findings for the curved frames obtained in the laboratory.
