“…58). The real load distribution is hard to remodel; even the results of finite element and discrete element software must be compared to the real cracking pattern of the vault to verify them (Bruggi-Lógó-Deák 2021). Thus, the construction and building method of the vault and its building order concluded from its exact geometry do not determine its load-bearing characteristics.…”

In the present study, we analysed the exact, laser-scanned geometry of the apse vault of the catholic church of Andocs. The written sources about this vault are very limited, however, the point cloud-based research could provide new details about the history of the building, along with the formerly used building techniques. For the analysis, we worked based on our three-step analysis process, established for net vaults. During the studying of the rib system, we reconstructed the probable original construction and building method, as well as the temporary supporting structures of the early 16th-century vault. The analysis of the individual ribs led us to conclusions about this vault, in the mirror of the widespread ideas of the topic’s technical literature, such as the “Prinzipalbogen” theory (all the ribs of a given net vault have the same curvature), or the principle of the longest route (the cumulated length of the ribs’ plan, which led from the impost to the crown with the longest possible route equals to the radius of the ribs’ curvature). Regarding the curvilinear rib elements, we presumed a likely fabrication method, based on contemporary research results. Mapping the webbing and the ribs, we concluded their building order, as well as the plausible masonry technique of the webs.

“…Within this field, a major part of the scientific community is constantly seeking for appropriate modelling techniques for the numerical simulation of the complex structural response of masonry [5]. The efforts into these simulations have been consider a large variety of strategies and techniques from the ones that consider masonry as a discrete continuum [6,7,8,9,10], homogeneous continuum [11,12,13] to the simplified ones [14,15,16,17]. Thus, many researchers have worked along the last decades on the development and validation of strengthening and retrofitting materials and techniques [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25] to prevent the failure/collapse of masonry structures on the occurrence of future earthquakes.…”

“…In [24], the network's horizontal projection, or form diagram, is fixed, reducing the indeterminacy of the equilibrium and allowing for efficiently coupling of the horizontal and vertical equilibria in a direct optimisation process. Further work [25][26][27][28] introduced different objective functions, such as minimising and maximising the horizontal thrust and maximising the geometric safety factor (GSF) and imposed constraints to the network's vertex elevations to lay within the structure. These later developments enabled the application of TNA to practical masonry assessment problems, keeping as main advantages the simple and intuitive input necessary to the analysis: the structural envelope and the geometry of the form diagram.…”
