the real question is, what is the best arch
Manjaro /s
Gothic or parabolic are probably the strongest ones, where each block has the most support. Gothic is easier build as it requires less custom shaped blocks. So my vote is on Gothic.
btw
og rulers Ogee rulers?
Parabolic looks like a wizards tower entrance
which is stronest?
Strongest is the caternary arch. Its not listed there for some reason. A caternary is the shape of a chain dangling from its two endpoints. Flip that shape and you get an ideal arch (assuming no additional forces)
thank you. that lead to an interesting wikipedia read.
Parabolic is strongest. It applies the pressure from above the best.
thanks
followed by the gothic i presume
What the hell holds up a draped arch?
I’m not an engineer by any stretch, but I imagine it would be the downward force of the weight of the rest of the building on the top-middle of the butt. The resulting pressure would hold the rest in place.
Gothic, else you are an heretic !
Ionic! …no, wait
The only real genders
Rampant is best
Jesus these arches are rampant! No, sorry just one is them is
i remember seeing someone with a piece of paper with all the different windows, roofs, columns, arches, etc in elementary school and i asked where they got it (which was from the teacher for the gifted and talented program), and somehow after asking the teacher (since I wasn’t in G&T) I got the architecture paper, and at home I would look at that and see which were my favorites. Unfortunately it’s lost now.
btw multifold and gothic are the best
