Makowski Z.S. (Ed.) Analysis, Design and Construction of Braced Barrel Vaults

Elsevier Applied Science Publishers, Barking, 1990. — 413 p. — ISBN: 0853343772.This collection of 24 articles covers a range of topics in the analysis, design and construction of braced barrel vaults.The present volume is the outcome of an attempt by the editor to bring together the acknowledged leaders in the design, analysis and construction of braced barrel vaults and to produce an authoritative reference book which, it is hoped, will be of interest and direct help to practising civil and structural engineers, consultants, contractors, architects and research workers.History of Development of Various Types of Braced Barrel Vaults and Review of Recent Achievements all over the World
