A new type of stone dome based on Abeilleas bond

We deal with a new kind of stone spherical vaults, bonded adapting Joseph Abeilleas 1699 patent for flat vaults. After the presentation of a parametric design procedure, we put forward a numerical model and propose a method to seek the optimal parameters. We conclude giving tools to process the info...

Summary:We deal with a new kind of stone spherical vaults, bonded adapting Joseph Abeilleas 1699 patent for flat vaults. After the presentation of a parametric design procedure, we put forward a numerical model and propose a method to seek the optimal parameters. We conclude giving tools to process the information and produce fabrication outputs.
