Stone Arch Design
(OP)
I have a client that wants to build an underground vault with an arched stone ceiling. The span is 12’, height above springline is 3’, desired thickness is about 12” and the length is 15'. The overall inside headroom is about 8’-6”. Ground cover above the crown is about 1’-0”. Does anyone have any design data? Thanks.

An extensive discussion of stone arch design and construction begins on page 440. For a project like this it may be best to rely on 19th century technology - they knew how to do it.
