Description

This lecture discusses the operation of pointed arches and flying buttresses in Gothic architecture. It covers the modeling of full and half pointed arches, forces and supports distribution, and the role of buttresses in cathedrals. The instructor explains how to ensure equal efforts in the entire arc and the importance of adapting segment weights for proper support.
