67-510: An example of a surviving aula regia is the church of Santa María del Naranco near Oviedo , built around 850 as an aula regia for Ramiro I . There was also an aula regia in the Palace of Aachen ː it later became a part of the medieval Town Hall of Aachen . The royal hall of the Kaiserpfalz at Ingelheim has been digitally reconstructed. The architectural prototype for all of them was

134-580: A Bien de Interés Cultural in June 1985. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in December 1985. Built as a recreational palace, it is situated on the southern side of Mount Naranco facing the city , and was originally part of a series of royal buildings located in the outskirts. Its character as a civil building changed in the 12th century when it was converted into a church dedicated to St. Mary . The Palace of Santa María del Naranco, involved

201-567: A four-centred arch is made of two circle segments with distinct centers; usually the radius used closer to the springing point is smaller with a more pronounced curvature. Common in Islamic architecture ( Persian arch ), and, with upper portion flattened almost to straight lines ( Tudor arch ), in the English Perpendicular Gothic . A keel arch is a variant of four-centred arch with haunches almost straight, resembling

268-435: A Christian edifice. So far as we can understand, the altar was placed originally in one of the porticos, and the worship was consequently probably external. The great difference seems to have been that there was a lateral entrance, and some of the communicants at least must have been accommodated in the interior. The ornamentation of the interior differs from classical models more than the plan. The columns are spirally fluted —

335-459: A catenary is often misclassified as a parabola (per Galileo , "the [hanging] chain fits its parabola almost perfectly" ). González et al. provide an example of Palau Güell , where researchers do not agree on classification of the arches or claim the prominence of parabolic arches, while the measurements show that just two of the 23 arches designed by Gaudi are actually parabolic. Three parabolic-looking curves in particular are of significance to

402-400: A classical form — but the capitals are angular, and made to support arches. On the walls also there are curious medallions from which the vaulting-ribs spring, which seem peculiar to the style, since they are found repeated in the church of Santa Cristina de Lena . Transverse arch An arch is a curved vertical structure spanning an open space underneath it. Arches may support

469-514: A collapse (the oldest arch still standing is at Ramesseum ). Sacred buildings exhibited either lintel design or corbelled arches. Arches were mostly missing in Egypt temples even after the Roman conquest , even though Egyptians thought of the arch as a spiritual shape and used it in the rock-cut tombs and portable shrines. Auguste Mariette suggested that this choice was based on a relative fragility of

536-405: A decorative pattern, primarily at the top of window openings. The corbel (also corbelled ) arch, made of two corbels meeting in the middle of the span, is a true arch in a sense of being able to carry a load, but it is false in a structural sense, as its components are subject to bending stress. The typical profile is not curved, but has triangular shape. Invented prior to the semicircular arch,

603-407: A fixed arch, a two-hinged arch, or a three-hinged arch. The fixed arch is most often used in reinforced concrete bridges and tunnels, which have short spans. Because it is subject to additional internal stress from thermal expansion and contraction, this kind of arch is statically indeterminate (the internal state is impossible to determine based on the external forces alone). The two-hinged arch

670-898: A number of civilizations in the ancient Near East including the Levant , but their use was infrequent and mostly confined to underground structures, such as drains where the problem of lateral thrust is greatly diminished. An example of the latter would be the Nippur arch, built before 3800 BC, and dated by H. V. Hilprecht  (1859–1925) to even before 4000 BC. Rare exceptions are an arched mudbrick home doorway dated to c.  2000 BC from Tell Taya in Iraq and two Bronze Age arched Canaanite city gates, one at Ashkelon (dated to c.  1850 BC ), and one at Tel Dan (dated to c.  1750 BC ), both in modern-day Israel . An Elamite tomb dated 1500 BC from Haft Teppe contains

737-671: A parabolic vault which is considered one of the earliest evidences of arches in Iran. The use of true arches in Egypt also originated in the 4th millennium BC (underground barrel vaults at the Dendera cemetery). Standing arches were known since at least the Third Dynasty , but very few examples survived, since the arches were mostly used in non-durable secular buildings and made of mud brick voussoirs that were not wedge-shaped, but simply held in place by mortar , and thus susceptible to

804-473: A rounded, not pointed, top. Common in Islamic architecture and Romanesque buildings influenced by it, it later became popular in the decorative motifs of the Late Gothic designs of Northern Europe. Each arc of an ogee arch consists of at least two circle segments (for a total of at least four), with the center of an upper circle being outside the extrados. After European appearance in the 13th century on

871-548: A section view of a capsized ship. Popular in Islamic architecture, it can be also found in Europe, occasionally with a small ogee element at the top, so it is sometimes considered to be a variation of an ogee arch. Curtain arch (also known as inflexed arch , and, like the keel arch, usually decorative ) uses two (or more) drooping curves that join at the apex. Utilized as a dressing for windows and doors primarily in Saxony in

938-459: A semicircle, is associated with Islamic architecture and was known in areas of Europe with Islamic influence ( Spain , Southern France , Italy ). Occasionally used in Gothics, it briefly enjoyed popularity as the entrance door treatment in the interwar England. A pointed arch consists of two (" two-centred arch " ) or more circle segments culminating in a point at the top. It originated in

1005-737: A significant stylistic, morphological, constructive and decorative renovation of Pre-Romanesque, supplementing it with new, innovative resources, representing a leap forward with respect to immediately previous periods. On its altar, a Latin inscription provides the date of consecration: (...) Per Famulum Tuum Ranimirum. Principe Gloriosum Cum Paterna Regina Coniuge Renovasti Hoc Habitaculum Nimia. Vetustate Consumptvm Et Pro Eis Aedificasti Hanc Haram Benedictionis Gloriosae. Sanctae Mariae In Locum Hunc Summum Exaudi Eos De Caelorum Habitaculo Tuo Et. (...) Die VIIII Kalendas Iulias Era Dccclxxxvia . This palace's innovations amazed chroniclers, who mention it repeatedly. The Crónica Silense , written around

1072-497: A vault: "what would remain of the tombs and temples of Egyptians today, if they had preferred the vault?" Mycenaean architecture utilized only the corbel arches in their beehive tombs with triangular openings. Mycenaeans had also built probably the oldest still standing stone-arch bridge in the world, Arkadiko Bridge , in Greece. As evidenced by their imitations of the parabolic arches, Hittites most likely were exposed to

1139-452: Is a pre-Romanesque Asturian building on the slope of Mount Naranco situated 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Oviedo , northern Spain . Ramiro I of Asturias ordered it to be built as a royal palace, part of a larger complex that also incorporated the nearby church of San Miguel de Lillo , 100 meters away. The palace was completed in 842 and had in part a religious function, being consecrated in 848. Its structural features, such as

1206-425: Is accessed via a double exterior stairway adjoining the facade, leading into an identical layout as the lower floor; a central or noble hall with six blind semicircular arches along the walls, supported by columns built into the wall, and a mirador at each end. These are accessed via three arches, similar to those onto the wall, resting on columns with helicoidal rope moulding, typical of Pre-Romanesque. The barrel vault

1273-644: Is made from tufa stone, and is held up by six transverse arches resting on consoles. Santa María del Naranco represented a step forward from a decorative point of view by enriching the habitual standards and models with elements from painting, gold work and the textile arts. The rich decoration is concentrated in the hall and miradors of the upper floor, where it is especially worth noting the cubic-prismatic capitals (of Byzantine influence), decorated with reliefs framed by cord decoration (from local tradition) in trapezoid and triangular shapes, inside which there are sculpted forms of animals and humans. This kind of motif

1340-443: Is most often used to bridge long spans. This kind of arch has pinned connections at its base. Unlike that of the fixed arch, the pinned base can rotate, thus allowing the structure to move freely and compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction that changes in outdoor temperature cause. However, this can result in additional stresses, and therefore the two-hinged arch is also statically indeterminate, although not as much as

1407-584: Is repeated on the disks with central medallions located above the blind arches' intersections. The 32 medallions distributed around the building are similar in size and shape, varying the decorative designs and the interior figures (quadrupeds, birds, bunches of grapes, fantastic animals), a style inherited from the Visigoth period, in turn descended from Byzantine tradition. The medallions have decorative bands above them, again framed by rope moulding, inside which four figures are sculpted and arranged symmetrically;

1474-626: Is the most common form of the pointed arch, with the centers of two circles forming the intrados coinciding with the springing points of the opposite segment. Together with the apex point, they form a equilateral triangle , thus the name. If the centers of circles are farther apart, the arch becomes a narrower and sharper lancet arch that appeared in France in the Early Gothic architecture ( Saint-Denis Abbey ) and became prominent in England in

1541-599: Is the one that frames the internal side of an opening in the external wall. Structurally, relieving arches (often blind or containing) can be used to take off load from some portions of the building (for example, to allow use of thinner exterior walls with larger window openings, or, as in the Roman Pantheon , to redirect the weight of the upper structures to particular strong points). Transverse arches , introduced in Carolingian architecture , are placed across

1608-517: Is the only one of the symmetric wedge shape), and that efficiently uses the compressive strength of the masonry in the same manner as a curved arch and thus requires a mass of masonry on both sides to absorb the considerable lateral thrust. Used in the Roman architecture to imitate the Greek lintels, Islamic architecture, European medieval and Renaissance architecture. The flat arch is still being used as

1675-400: Is therefore statically determinate. It is most often used for spans of medial length, such as those of roofs of large buildings. Another advantage of the three-hinged arch is that the reaction of the pinned bases is more predictable than the one for the fixed arch, allowing shallow, bearing-type foundations in spans of medial length. In the three-hinged arch "thermal expansion and contraction of

1809-630: The Roman builders since the 4th century BC . It is considered to be the most common arch form, characteristic for Roman, Romanesque , and Renaissance architecture. A segmental arch , with a rounded shape that is less than a semicircle, is very old (the versions were cut in the rock in Ancient Egypt c. 2100 BC at Beni Hasan ). Since then it was occasionally used in Greek temples , utilized in Roman residential construction, Islamic architecture , and got popular as window pediments during

1876-420: The barrel vault in particular being a continuous arch. Extensive use of arches and vaults characterizes an arcuated construction , as opposed to the trabeated system, where, like in the architectures of ancient Greece, China, and Japan (as well as the modern steel-framed technique), posts and beams dominate. Arches had several advantages over the lintel , especially in the masonry construction: with

1943-426: The dead load increases with a distance from the center. Unlike regular arches, the flat arch (also known as jack arch , lintel arch , straight arch , plate-bande ) is not curved. Instead, the arch is flat in profile and can be used under the same circumstances as lintel . However, lintels are subject to bending stress, while the flat arches are true arches, composed of irregular voussoir shapes (the keystone

2010-466: The nave to compartmentalize (together with longitudinal separating arches) the internal space into bays and support vaults . A diaphragm arch similarly goes in the transverse direction, but carries a section of wall on top. It is used to support or divide sections of the high roof. Strainer arches were built as an afterthought to prevent two adjacent supports from imploding due to miscalculation. Frequently they were made very decorative, with one of

2077-528: The 13th-14th centuries their appeared as parts of flying buttresses used to counteract the thrust of Gothic ribbed vaults . A central part of an arch can be raised on short vertical supports, creating a trefoil -like shouldered arch . The raised central part can vary all the way from a flat arch to ogee. The shouldered arches were used to decorate openings in Europe from medieval times to Late Gothic architecture , became common in Iranian architecture from

2144-526: The 14th century, and were later adopted in the Ottoman Turkey . In a stilted arch (also surmounted ), the springing line is located above the imposts (on "stilts"). Known to Islamic architects by the 8th century, the technique was utilized to vertically align the apexes of arches of different dimensions in Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Stilting was useful for semicircular arches, where

2211-564: The Egyptian designs, but used the corbelled technique to build them. The Assyrians , also apparently under the Egyptian influence, adopted the true arch (with a slightly pointed profile) early in the 8th century. In ancient Persia , the Achaemenid Empire (550 BC–330 BC) built small barrel vaults (essentially a series of arches built together to form a hall) known as iwan , which became massive, monumental structures during

2278-480: The Islamic architecture, arrived in Europe in the second half of the 11th century ( Cluny Abbey ) and later became prominent in the Gothic architecture . The advantages of a pointed arch over a semicircular one are flexible ratio of span to rise and lower horizontal reaction at the base. This innovation allowed for taller and more closely spaced openings, which are typical of Gothic architecture. Equilateral arch

2345-409: The Late Gothic and early Renaissance buildings (late 15th to early 16th century), associated with Arnold von Westfalen  [ de ] . When the intrados has multiple concave segments, the arch is also called a draped arch or tented arch . A similar arch that uses a mixture of curved and straight segments or exhibits sharp turns between segments is a mixed-line arch . The popularity of

2412-480: The Renaissance. A basket-handle arch (also known as depressed arch , three-centred arch , basket arch ) consists of segments of three circles with origins at three different centers (sometimes uses five or seven segments, so can also be five-centred , etc.). Was used in late Gothic and Baroque architecture . A horseshoe arch (also known as keyhole arch ) has a rounded shape that includes more than

2479-517: The arch design: parabola itself, catenary , and weighted catenary . The arches naturally use the inverted (upside-down) versions of these curves. A parabola represents an ideal (all-compression) shape when the load is equally distributed along the span, while the weight of the arch itself is negligible. A catenary is the best solution for the case where an arch with uniform thickness carries just its own weight with no external load. The practical designs for bridges are somewhere in between, and thus use

2546-407: The arch is called " joggled ". A true arch, due to its rise, resolves the vertical loads into horizontal and vertical reactions at the ends, a so called arch action . The vertical load produces a positive bending moment in the arch, while the inward-directed horizontal reaction from the spandrel/abutment provides a counterbalancing negative moment. As a result, the bending moment in any segment of

2613-402: The arch is much smaller than in a beam with the equivalent load and span. The diagram on the right shows the difference between a loaded arch and a beam. Elements of the arch are mostly subject to compression (A), while in the beam a bending moment is present, with compression at the top and tension at the bottom (B). In the past, when arches were made of masonry pieces, the horizontal forces at

2680-581: The arch will cause vertical movements at the peak pin joint but will have no appreciable effect on the bases," which further simplifies foundational design. The arch became popular in the Roman times and mostly spread alongside the European influence, although it was known and occasionally used much earlier. Many ancient architectures avoided the use of arches, including the Viking and Hindu ones. True arches, as opposed to corbel arches , were known by

2747-503: The arches themselves got lighter, but the horizontal thrust can be further relieved by a tie connecting the ends of an arch. When evaluated from the perspective of an amount of material required to support a given load, the best solid structures are compression-only; with the flexible materials, the same is true for tension-only designs. There is a fundamental symmetry in nature between solid compression-only and flexible tension-only arrangements, noticed by Robert Hooke in 1676: "As hangs

2814-535: The arches using segments of a circle is due to simplicity of layout and construction, not their structural properties. Consequently, the architects historically used a variety of other curves in their designs: elliptical curves , hyperbolic cosine curves (including catenary ), and parabolic curves . There are two reasons behind the selection of these curves: The hyperbolic curve is not easy to trace, but there are known cases of its use. The non- circumferential curves look similar, and match at shallow profiles, so

2881-403: The barrel vault—with transverse ribs corresponding one-to-one with contraforts at the exterior, make it a clear precursor of the Romanesque construction. The exterior decorations, as well as the use of stilted arches, mark the intended verticality of the composition. It was declared a Monumento Nacional on 24 January 1885. Along with all other national monuments of Spain, it was classified as

2948-761: The best examples provided by the Wells Cathedral . Strainer arches can be " inverted " (upside-down) while remaining structural. When used across railway cuttings to prevent collapse of the walls, strainer arches may be referred to as flying arches . A counter-arch is built adjacent to another arch to oppose its horizontal action or help to stabilize it, for example, when constructing a flying buttress . The large variety of arch shapes (left) can mostly be classified into three broad categories: rounded , pointed , and parabolic . "Round" semicircular arches were commonly used for ancient arches that were constructed of heavy masonry, and were relied heavily on by

3015-524: The corbel arch was used already in the Egyptian and Mycenaean architecture in the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC . Like a corbel arch, the triangular arch is not a true arch in a structural sense. Its intrados is formed by two slabs leaning against each other. Brick builders would call triangular any arch with straight inclined sides. The design was common in Anglo-Saxon England until

3082-400: The curves that represent a compromise that combines both the catenary and the funicular curve for particular non-uniform distribution of load. The practical free-standing arches are stronger and thus heavier at the bottom, so a weighted catenary curve is utilized for them. The same curve also fits well an application where a bridge consists of an arch with a roadway of packed dirt above it, as

3149-425: The ends of an arch caused the need for heavy abutments (cf. Roman triumphal arch ). The other way to counteract the forces, and thus allow thinner supports, was to use the counter-arches , as in an arcade arrangement, where the horizontal thrust of each arch is counterbalanced by its neighbors, and only the end arches need to buttressed . With new construction materials (steel, concrete, engineered wood ), not only

3216-628: The facade of the St Mark's Basilica , the arch became a fixture of the English Decorated style , French Flamboyant , Venetian , and other Late Gothic styles. Ogee arch is also known as reversed curve arch , occasionally also called an inverted arch . The top of an ogee arch sometimes projects beyond the wall, forming the so-called nodding ogee popular in 14th century England ( pulpitum in Southwell Minster ). Each arc of

Other sculptural elements, such as the capitals of Corinthian inspiration on the miradors' triple-arched Windows or the altar stone in the eastern mirador (originally from

3350-405: The fixed arch. The three-hinged arch is not only hinged at its base, like the two-hinged arch, yet also at its apex. The additional apical connection allows the three-hinged arch to move in two opposite directions and compensate for any expansion and contraction. This kind of arch is thus not subject to additional stress from thermal change. Unlike the other two kinds of arch, the three-hinged arch

3417-622: The flexible line, so but inverted will stand the rigid arch", thus the study (and terminology) of arch shapes is inextricably linked to the study of hanging chains, the corresponding curves or polygons are called funicular . Just like the shape of a hanging chain will vary depending on the weights attached to it, the shape of an ideal (compression-only) arch will depend on the distribution of the load. There are multiple ways to classify an arch: A sequence of arches can be grouped together forming an arcade . Romans perfected this form, as shown, for example, by arched structures of Pont du Gard . In

3484-407: The following elements: A (left or right) half-segment of an arch is called an arc , the overall line of an arch is arcature (this term is also used for an arcade ). Archivolt is the exposed (front-facing) part of the arch, sometimes decorated (occasionally also used to designate the intrados). If the sides of voussoir blocks are not straight, but include angles and curves for interlocking,

3551-621: The interior of hall churches , arcades of separating arches were used to separate the nave of a church from the side aisle, or two adjacent side aisles. Two-tiered arches , with two arches superimposed, were sometimes used in Islamic architecture , mostly for decorative purposes. An opening of the arch can be filled, creating a blind arch . Blind arches are frequently decorative, and were extensively used in Early Christian , Romanesque , and Islamic architecture. Alternatively,

This solution, timidly advanced in the Camara Santa (English: Holy Chamber ) of the Cathedral of San Salvador of Oviedo , fully matured in Santa María del Naranco. The palace, on a rectangular ground plan, has two floors. The lower level, or crypt , quite low, has a central chamber and another two located on either side. The upper floor

3685-439: The late 11th century ( St Mary Goslany ). Mayan corbel arches are sometimes called triangular due to their shape. Few transformations can be applied to arch shapes. If one impost is much higher than another, the arch (frequently pointed ) is known as ramping arch  [ fr ] , raking arch , or rampant arch (from French : arc rampant ). Originally used to support inclined structures, like staircases , in

3752-617: The late 12th and early 13th centuries ( Salisbury Cathedral ). If the centers are closer to another, the result is a wider blunt arch . The intrados of the cusped arch (also known as multifoil arch , polyfoil arch , polylobed arch , and scalloped arch ) includes several independent circle segments in a scalloped arrangement. These primarily decorative arches are common in Islamic architecture and Northern European Late Gothic, can be found in Romanesque architecture . A similar trefoil arch includes only three segments and sometimes has

3819-519: The later Parthian Empire (247 BC–AD 224). This architectural tradition was continued by the Sasanian Empire (224–651), which built the Taq Kasra at Ctesiphon in the 6th century AD, the largest free-standing vault until modern times. An early European example of a voussoir arch appears in the 4th century BC Greek Rhodes Footbridge . Proto-true arches can also be found under

3886-520: The load above them, or they may perform a purely decorative role. As a decorative element, the arch dates back to the 4th millennium BC , but structural load-bearing arches became popular only after their adoption by the Ancient Romans in the 4th century BC . Arch-like structures can be horizontal, like an arch dam that withstands the horizontal hydrostatic pressure load. Arches are normally used as supports for many types of vaults , with

4020-411: The opening can be filled with smaller arches, producing a containing arch , common in Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Multiple arches can be superimposed with an offset, creating an interlaced series of usually (with some exceptions) blind and decorative arches. Most likely of Islamic origin, the interlaced arcades were popular in Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Rear-arch (also rere-arch )

The skew arch (also known as an oblique arch ) is used when the arch needs to turn in the horizontal plane, for example, when a bridge crosses the river at an angle different than 90°. A splayed arch is used for the case of unequal spans on the sides of the arch (when, for example, an interior opening in

Their role in construction was diminished in the middle of the 19th century with introduction of the wrought iron (and later steel ): the high tensile strength of these new materials made long lintels possible. A true arch is a load-bearing arc with elements held together by compression. In much of

The ancient Romans learned the semicircular arch from the Etruscans (both cultures apparently adopted the design in the 4th century BC ), refined it and were the first builders in Europe to tap its full potential for above ground buildings: The Romans were the first builders in Europe, perhaps the first in the world, to fully appreciate

4288-407: The upper two carrying loads on their heads and the lower two representing soldiers on horseback carrying swords.

A wide arch with its rise less than 1 ⁄ 2 of the span (and thus the geometric circle of at least one segment is below the springing line) is called a surbased arch (sometimes also a depressed arch ). A drop arch is either a basket handle arch or a blunt arch. The practical arch bridges are built either as

It is usually used to designate an arch that has no structural purpose, like a proscenium arch in theaters used to frame the performance for the spectators, but is also applied to corbelled and triangular arches that are not based on compression. A typical true masonry arch consists of
