The paper presents a new method for constructing self-supporting surfaces using arch beams that are designed to convert their thrust into supporting force, thereby eliminating shear stress and bending moments. Our method allows for the placement of the arch beams on the boundary or within a surface and partitions the surface into multiple self-supporting parts. The use of arch beams enhances stability and durability, adds aesthetic appeal, and allows for greater flexibility in the design process. We develop an iterative algorithm for designing selfsupporting surfaces with arch beams that enables the user to control the shape of the beams and surface through intuitive parameters and specify the desired location of the arch beams. We verify the physical stability of the structure using finite element analysis. Experimental results show that our method can produce visually pleasing self-supporting surfaces that satisfy the equilibrium equation with high accuracy.
