29
Q

The uppermost part of an abutment, often in the form of a block, capital or molding from which an arch springs.

30
Q

The triangular-shaped, sometimes ornamented area between the extrados of two adjoining arches, or between the left or right extrados of an arch and the rectangular framework surrounding it.

A

Spandrel or Spandril

31
Q

Any of several concentric rings of masonry forming an arch, especially when each projects beyond the one below.

32
Q

A crosspiece connecting the ribs in a centering.

A

Lag or Bolster

33
Q

An archway having sides or jambs not at right angles with the face of its abutments.

A

Skew Arch

(tabingi yung isang dulo ng arch)

34
Q

Skew

A

hindi parallel hindi din right angle, in short “Tabingi”

35
Q

A temporary framework for supporting a masonry arch or vault during construction until the work can support itself.

36
Q

A board used as centering for a flat arch, slightly crowned to allow for settling of the arch.

A

Camber Piece or Camber Slip

37
Q

The manner in which an arch transforms the vertical forces of a supported load into inclined components and transmits them to abutments on either side of the archway.

A

Arch Action

38
Q

The median line of an arched structure.

39
Q

The set of resultants of thrust and weight each part of an arch imposes on the next lower one. For bending to be eliminated throughout an arch, the line of thrust must coincide with the arch axis.

A

Line of Thrust

40
Q

Coincide

A

magtugma, mag sang ayon sa isat isa

41
Q

An arch shaped to develop only axial compression under a given loading. This shape may be found by inverting the funicular shape for a cable carrying a similar loading pattern. As with any funicular structure, a funucular arch is subject to bending if the loading pattern changes.

  • An inverted catenary is the funicular shape for an arch carrying a vertical load uniformly distributed along the length of the arch axis.*
  • The parabola is the funicular shape for an arch carrying a vertical load uniformly distributed over its horizontal projection.*
A

Funicular Arch

42
Q

The outward force or pressure exerted by one part of a structure against another.

43
Q

The thrust of an arched structure on its abutments, proportional to the total load and span, and inversely proportional to the rise.

44
Q

An arch structure of timber, steel or reinforced concrete, constructed as a rigid body capable of carrying bending stresses.

A

Rigid Arch

45
Q

A fixed frame structure having an arched form.

A

Fixed Arch

46
Q

A two-hinged frame structure having an arched form.

A

Two Hinged arch

47
Q

A three-hinged frame structure having an arched form.

A

Three-hinged arch

48
Q

The part of a structure receiving and supporting the thrust of an arch, vault or strut.

49
Q

An iron or steel rod serving as a structural tie, specially one keeping the lower ends of an arch or frame from spreading.

50
Q

An arch having a horizontal intrados with voussors radiating from a center below, often building with a slight camber to allow for settling.

A

Flat Arch or jack arch

51
Q

A flat arch having voussoirs inclined to the same angle on each side of the center.

A

French arch

52
Q

A primitive form of arch consisting of two stones laid diagonally to support each other over an opening.

A

Triangular Arch

53
Q

A false arch constructed by corbelling courses from each side of an opening until they meet at a midpoint where a capstone is laid to complete the work. The stepped reveals may be smoothed, but no arch action is effected.

A

Corbel Arch

54
Q

An arch having a continuously curved intrados especially a semicircular one.

A

Round arch

55
Q

An arch having a semicircular intrados.

A

Roman Arch

Q

An arch having one impost higher than the other.

A

Rampant arch

Q

An arch resting on imposts trated as downward continuation of the archivolt.

A

Stilted Arch

58
Q

A round arch resting on two large corbels with curved faces.

59
Q

An arch having an intrados that widens above the springing before narrowing to a rounded crown.

A

Moorish arch or Horseshoe Arch

60
Q

An arch having a cusped intrados with three round or pointed foils.

A

Trefoil Arch

61
Q

A three-centered arch having a crown with a radius much greater than that of the outer pair of curves.

A

Basket Handle Arch or Anse De Panier

62
Q

An arch struck from one or more centers below the springing line.

A

Segmental Arch

63
Q

A stone or course of masonry having a sloping face against which the end of a segmental arch rests.

64
Q

An arch having a pointed crown.

A

Pointed Arch

65
Q

A pointed arch having two centers and radii equal to the span.

A

Equilateral arch

66
Q

A pointed arch especially one having two centers and equal radii

A

Gothic Arch

67
Q

A pointed arch having two centers and raii greater than the span.

A

A four-centered arch having an inner pair of curves with a radius much greater than that of the outer pair.

A

Tudor Arch

70
Q
