Segmental Arch Opening Geometry calculator.

Combine a rectangular opening with a supplied minor circular arch to obtain face area and curved boundary length.

MEASUREMENT

Your inputs

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Combine a rectangular opening with a supplied minor circular arch to obtain face area and curved boundary length. No arch, lintel, support or window sizing recommendation.

Radius = chord²/(8 rise) + rise/2; segment area = r²(theta−sin theta)/2; add rectangular face.Calculated with normalised units

A worked example

Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.

Opening chord width
2 m
Rectangular part height
2 m
Minor arch rise
1 m

Combined opening face area: 5.57 m²

Ideal supplied circular geometry, not an opening specification, fabrication template or structural arch design.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.

No arch, lintel, support or window sizing recommendation.

Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-04. Calculation and review policy.
