A triumphal arch consists of a free-standing arch used to commemorate events, particularly military victories, a series of vaulted arches could be used to create a long open space broken only by the columns, and a rounded arch solves the problem of masonry's tensile (resistance to lengthwise stress) weakness. ^_^


How do you spray paint a ceiling?

Canvas ceilings were almost universally covered with calcimine paint, a Whiting-based (chalk) paint with few binders. If you try to paint over calcimine paint with anything other than new calcimine paint you will have a mess on your hands, as the new paint will pull what is essentially chalk dust from the canvas. NEVER use latex or oil-based paint to recoat calcimine. To read up on calcimine paint, go to the following URL: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=calcimine+paint&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Then go to the oldest paint store in your town and ask the oldest person employed there if the store still carries calcimine paint. (Young clerks won't have a clue.) Just be aware that when you add the weight of a gallon of paint to a canvas ceiling, the ceiling may sag in the middle from the added weight. It is therefore recommended that the old paint be removed first. To remove old calcimine paint from a canvas ceiling: Mix a pint of warm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid in a new plastic spray bottle. Mist the ceiling a few square feet at a time. Waiting a few minutes, then use a large cooking spoon (one with no sharp edges) to gently remove some of the old paint as it loosens, starting at a crack in the paint if possible. This is a tedious job, but it must be done or the new paint will no adhere well to the canvas. Let the canvas dry thoroughly for several days before reapplying calcimine paint. One thin coat should do. Good luck!


Where did pointed arches in architecture originate?

They orientated from Gothic Architecture and Design. Pointed arches were used in Gothic architecture to help support the weight of vaulted ceilings. Rounded arches previously used could not support the increased height, width and weight of new building designs. The concept of the pointed arch operates in a similar manner as two leaning objects. Two sides of a pointed arch lean against each other for support and the increased force and loads placed on the arches from the ceiling is displaced onto the flying buttresses, which are supported by the ground. The increased roof support provided by the pointed arches allowed building walls to be thinner. Decorative details seen on arches were a natural consequence of Gothic design.

Why DOES the church have a vaulted ceiling?

If you have a room that is 30 feet wide and you want to have a cathedral ceiling - what framing member should be used?

there are many ways to frame a vaulted ceiling. Pre-manufactured "Scissor trusses" will give the interior slope 1/2 as steep as the exterior roof. For the same slope, pitch (or steepness) you would need to have a ridge beam with rafters coming from the top of the walls to the beam. "Pitch" is described as rise over run, ie a 6/12 roof would rise 6 inches for every foot of run.
