Living room arch engineering design: Structural, aesthetic, and construction analysis

This study investigated the structural performance and durability of a living room arch design (more-than-half-cycle design) by evaluating its material properties, mechanical properties, safety, and load-bearing behavior. The materials used for the arch construction, including reinforced concrete and wood composites, were tested for density, tensile strength, and compressive strength. Mechanical tests assessed load distribution, deflection under various loads, and resilience. Safety analysis included stability checks under different loading conditions, including static, dynamic, and lateral forces. To simulate long-term performance, the arch underwent accelerated aging tests to evaluate material fatigue and deformation over time. The results showed that the selected materials exhibited high compressive strength and durability, ensuring adequate safety margins under all tested conditions. However, slight deflections were observed under peak loading scenarios. Overall, the arch demonstrated excellent stability, uniform load distribution, and minimal material degradation over time. These findings highlight the robustness of the design and its potential application in modern living spaces.
