Background or Origin of Article
Barrel Vault
A Barrel Vault is an arched shape, similar to the roof of a tunnel. As the upper parts of the arch push the lower sections out, something must be resisting that outward pressure. In a tunnel the fill around the tunnel does this, but above ground this is done with thick walls that support it.[1]
Barrel Vault
Rib Vault
Ribbed Vaulting is masonary framework of intersecting arches, or ribs. This type of Vaulting has been used in the late Norman and Gothic periods. [2]
Fan Vault
Fan Vaults have ribs that are equal in length and radiate out from a single point. Shorter ribs cross the radiating ribs creating extravagant patterns.[3]
