[QUOTE="LongforDodd, post: 53789, member: 756"] A column, as pointed out in other replies, in this application is mostly useless. The column aids in supporting the beam but a beam is not a good example of engineering economy in the construction of an arch. Engineers like us look at this stuff and simply scratch our heads if we're trying to make engineering sense out of this thing that means so much to the red and black crowd. In looking at Cyptomcat's insertion of the Seal of Georgia earlier in this thread it appears to me that some architect working for the State of Georgia years ago was tasked with creating the arches for ugag (I surely hope it wasn't a GT grad) using the state Seal of Georgia as his/her inspiration. I think it's obvious that whoever created the state Seal was more of a graphic artist than an architect or engineer. Whoever was tasked with creating ugag's arches simply ran with it, not ever thinking that what they were doing would give us, who know better, so much pleasure in further critiquing their fine insttitution.
