Parametric Stability Analysis of Groin Vaults

Parametric Stability Analysis of Groin Vaults

This paper presents a parametric stability study of groin, or cross vaults, a structural element widely used in old masonry construction, particularly in Gothic architecture. The vaults’ stability is measured using the geometric safety factor (GSF), computed by evaluating the structure’s minimum thi...
