This work aims at a better understanding of the influence of stereotomy on the stability of stone-cut archs and vaults in general, and flat archs and flat vaults in particular. A study of the history and typology of flat archs and flat vaults, through the consideration of existing examples and treaties of architecture or stereotomy from 1500 to 1800, is a preambule to the mechanical study of these constructions. Flat archs with X-joints, flat archs en fausse-coupe, and Abeille's flat vaults are studied in detail because of their specific stereotomy. Geometric rules used to determine joint orientation, by architects on the one hand, and by stone masons on the other hand, emerge from this work. An extension of the force network method is pres...
