Generalized Thrust Network Analysis of Triangular Masonry Cross Vaults Inspired by Musmeci
Applied Sciences, 2023 A triangular parabolic cross vault, that was designed by Musmeci in the 1950s as a reinforced concrete structure but remained unbuilt, is revisited from the original perspective of its reinvention as a masonry structure.
