Description
Description

A keel arch is a type of arch that is shaped like the keel of a boat. It is made up of a series of wedge-shaped stones that are arranged in a curved pattern. Keel arches are often used in buildings because they are very strong and can support a lot of weight. They are also relatively easy to build, which makes them a popular choice for architects.
