Faculty Architecture Department Building Technology Date 2011-09-20 Abstract Just after World War II many barrel vaults and domes were built with a structural system, known as Fusée Ceramique. This paper analyses the load bearing capacity of these vaults. Schemes, theories, idealizations and assumptions are analysed, validated and discussed. Methods to increase the load bearing capacity of barrel vaults are described to preserve the remaining Fusée Ceramique barrel vaults for the next generations.
