Shape and Construction of Brick Vaults. Criteria, Methods And Tools for a Possible Catalogue

“…When brick is used we find rational methods of construction that spread throughout Europe as evident in the drawings of German handbooks from the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries dedicated to the texture of the vaults (Gilly 1797). Stefan M. Holzer (2013) has succeeded in tracing an overview that not only deals with Italian case studies but also pairs them with similar German examples. Viollet-le-Duc, under Construction in the fourth volume of the Dictionnaire, (first edition of the first volumes: 1854-57), considered groined vaults as characteristic of medieval English construction, in which the ashlars were laid perpendicularly to the diagonal arches.…”

System analysis of Neo‐Gothic vaults / Systemanalyse neugotischer Gewölbe

“…Numerical analysis with continuum models without discrete modelling of cracks or joints and expansion joints usually are insuffi cient, cf. [17], [18]. Suitable simulation models are required which will be described in a planned later journal article.…”

“…The geodetic method of laser scanning off ers an elegant method for the measurement of the complex geometry by taking a high-resolution, spatial geometry image (see [17] to [19]). However, in practice it is still not possible -or only to an unsatisfactory degree -to use the space coordinates determined in this way in other applications, such as the generation of networks in a fi nite element simulation (see, e.g., [10]).…”

“…Das geodätische Verfahren des Laserscannings bietet eine elegante Möglichkeit, die komplizierte Geometrie durch eine hochaufl ösende räumliche Geometrieaufnahme zu erfassen, (s. [17] bis [19]). In der praktischen Anwendung ließen sich die damit bestimmten Raumkoordinaten bisher jedoch nicht oder nur unbefriedigend in andere Anwendungen, wie bspw.…”

Editorial

“…Graham, 2002;Holzer, 2013Holzer, , 2015; also reviewed in Engineering History and Heritage (Addis, 2015)). However, as engineering practices pare their libraries down to a minimum, books -especially those that are a few years old or out of print -are becoming less easy to find when they are needed.…”
