supporting a rib vault
supporting a rib vault
(OP)
How do i remove the spring stone from a rib vault. I have thought of centering support but as soon as i remove the spring stone the stone above will fall. Any ideas.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Tying the stone blocks above the spring stone will secure them to the rest of the arch, but if the arch has no support because the spring stone is gone, the whole thing will collapse al the same.
I have very nominal knowledge of masonry, but I would not think a central support will do. I would think you would need to provide full suport along the arch/vault.

Precast concrete bridge fabricators repair cracks by injecting epoxy adhesive under pressure. You might ber able to repair it in place. If it works for beams carrying 80,000 lb trucks, it might work for a building.
