Pointed arch

A Gothic arch, also known as a pointed arch or 3-point arch, is an architectural element characterized by its pointed crown. The two curving sides of the arch meet at a relatively sharp angle at the top, which allows for greater structural strength and allows for taller ceilings. Gothic Arches have typical spans between 4’-12’ (1.22-3.66 m) and arch rises of 41.7”-124.8” (106-317 cm). Arches are commonly paired with wall depths of 8”-16” (20.3-40.6 cm) and a course depth between of 4”-16”…

A lancet arch is a tall, narrow window with a pointed arch at its top. It is named after its resemblance to a lance, a medieval weapon. Lancet windows are a typical feature of Gothic architecture, and they can be found in churches, cathedrals, and other religious buildings. They are also sometimes used in secular buildings, such as castles and palaces. Downloads online #arches #arch #structures #buildings #construction
