A term used by engineers who design arches. In an arch, It is the line of force caused by the weight of the arch and its loads. To keep the arch in compression, It is important that the funicular stays near the center of the arch structure.

A funicular shape is one similar to that taken by a suspended chain or string subjected to a particular loading. Gravity: An attractive force between two objects; each object accelerates at a rate equal to the attractive force divided by the object's mass. Objects near the surface of the earth tend to accelerate toward the earth's center at a rate of ; this value is often called the gravitational constant and denoted as g. Inelastic: Not surprisingly, the opposite of elastic deformation of a structure or material under load is described as inelastic when the deformation remains after the load is removed. The term plastic is often used with the same meaning.
