cut or shaped before use. Post and beam and arch structure systems were used predominately before the twentieth century‚ in places like Greece‚ Rome‚ and Egypt. The form on post-and-beam structures has to due with the materials used. Stone beams have to be shorter and thicker because stone is brittle and not flexible. Wood however is more flexible so they can be thiner and longer in turn they can be use to create a more open interior space. Arch structure uses stone in a semi-circle atop two columns

The Fall of the Byzantine Empire (1453 A.D.)- The Byzantine Empire‚ for centuries‚ had been in a state of free-falling decline since the end of the Fourth Crusade. While the empire was eventually able to revive itself after the devastating loss that the Fourth Crusade put Byzantium in 1261 A.D. with the rise of the Palaiologoi Dynasty‚ the empire had already endured far too much destruction to be saved from the crippling effects of war. In 1453‚ the Ottoman Empire‚ which had taken much of the Byzantine

sites with water. Another thing borrowed from the Greeks is the arch. The purpose of the arch in Greek culture was limited to supporting small structures‚ such as storerooms. This design limited the size and scope of the building. Builders could not construct extremely large building because the arch could not support it. However‚ the ancient Romans created an arch that could support huge amounts of weight. The Romans created this arch‚ a very strong shape as no single spot holds all the weight

Characteristics of Gothic churches and cathedrals In Gothic architecture‚ a unique combination of existing technologies established the emergence of a new building style. Those technologies were the ogival or pointed arch‚ the ribbed vault‚ and the flying buttress. The Gothic style‚ when applied to an ecclesiastical building‚ emphasizes verticality and light. This appearance was achieved by the development of certain architectural features‚ which together provided an engineering solution. The structural

A study done by Constantine (2015) used the Sexuality Education Initiative (SEI) to document the changes of the students’ ability to manage their sexuality before and after their comprehensive sex education. The SEI showed that students that had the comprehensive sex education showed a statistically significantly greater improvement than the students that received the abstinence-only education (control group) program (Constantine‚ 2015).

investigate the foot arch and plantar fascia deformations in mid-stance phase. The heel pad simulation results show that the pad model with fat cells (coupling model) has much stronger capacity in impact attenuation and energy storage than the model without fat cells (structure model). Furthermore‚ the FE simulation reproduced the deformations of the foot arch structure and the plantar fascia extension observed in the gait measurements‚ which reinforces the postulation that the foot arch structure also
