A series of arches in a row that create a long rounded ceiling or roof is known as a barrel vault. This architectural form consists of multiple arches placed back to back, resulting in a continuous, elongated structure. Barrel vaults are commonly used in the construction of churches, cathedrals, and large public buildings, providing both structural support and aesthetic appeal.

What distinguishes triumphal arches from vaulted arches or rounded arches?
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. ^_^
Did Monet create the majoritiey of his work in his own garden?
Yes, his lily pond series and many other paintings were done there. He also ventured out to paint, his Haystack paintings in the farm land, and the Cathedral facade series.
What is the purpose of an arched roof?
Churches require a very large open space that is is either free of columns, or limits columns to the periphery so that the worshipers view to the altar is unobstructed. In modern times, spanning large distances is made relatively easy by the use of steel. However, in those early eras of church construction, the process for making steel had not yet been invented by humans. This meant that the structural materials used in buildings were limited to masonry, wood, and concrete-like mixes. When used as a beam, the physical properties of wood limit the length that it can span to relatively short distances. Thus, the traditional building method known as "post and lintel" (beam and column) was not much of an option if very large column-free spaces were desired. When humans discovered how to make arches out of stone and bricks, it provided a way to span much greater distances without columns. Thus, the large, column-free churches of the past were made out of series of arches. Over time, the look and feel of these arched cathedrals became the symbol and standard of a Christian church, and so even in current times when steel beams are available, churches are often made to resemble the arched-construction of the past. In reality, the arches found in modern day churches are not actually "true arches" that transmit forces by compression only, from the keystone down - but rather steel framed structures that are shaped to mimic the appearance of the arches of the iconic churches of the past.

Is corrugation just series of connected arches?
Corrugation is not just a series of connected arches. Corrugation refers to the process of shaping a material into a series of parallel ridges and grooves to increase its strength and flexibility. While arches can be a form of corrugation, there are various other shapes and patterns that can be used in the corrugation process to achieve different structural properties. The specific design and arrangement of the ridges and grooves in corrugated materials are chosen based on the desired strength, flexibility, and other characteristics for the intended application.
