Description

Many scholars have studied methods how to construct the vault panel of the rib vault, and proposed the cerce method (of Viollet-le-Duc), planking method (of Choisy), lagging method (of Fitchen) and stone-weighted rope method (of Lassaulx). However, which method is true remains obscure. For the study of the panel construction I have taken up the problems of the dimension, shape and density of the vault panel voussoirs, which are important especially for the examination of free-hand method. Hitherto the voussoirs are refered to only as "thin rough pieces of rubble." In this paper I followed the materials of medieval vault thickness mentioned by many writers, which data are hard to come by even in the churches repaired.
