Overview




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]

Rib Vault



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.<ref>Express, B. (n.d.). Illustrated Dictionary of British Churches, History and Architecture. Retrieved May 18, 2017, from [1]</ref
