Explanation:
I think you might need to look further into the context to see just what this 'structure' consists of, as I can well imagine the translation of 'arched' is likely to change significantly according to the actual form it takes. Not to mention the 'support' element too!

In the absence of more context, it seems likely that the 'arched' in the source text simply means 'comprising arches' (rather than, say, being a single arch-shaped structure).
