Research Paper On Roman Colosseum

The Roman Colosseum is an ancient stadium that still stands today. The Colosseum stands 189x 156x meters and is a big part of ancient history. The Colosseum was used to hold gladiator fights for the roman people’s entertainment. The Colosseum has many designs that help its stand still. The Colosseum is a structure that contains arches. Arches were developed by the Roman people and can support a lot of weight. It is way more efficient than a beam because an arch can distribute downward pressure though the whole arch because of the bended top. A bean on the other hand will break itself apart because of the pressure on top is not and cannot be distributed. So beams will have pressure going up and down which will cause the middle to break.
