Block models of the masonry arch and vault
Masonry construction has the advantage that the behaviour of a small model can be safely scaled up to large size, for example for buttresses, arches, vaults and domes. This fact helps to explain the remarkable progress made in masonry construction from Roman times to the late Renaissance. A more scientific approach to masonry construction began in the mid‐18th century and continued into the 20th century, not only for buildings but also for large masonry arch bridges.
