This article presents a laser-scanning-based, geometric typology of the connection between the rib system and webbing of Late Gothic net vaults and discusses the underlying building techniques. The article provides not only geometric descriptions but also 12 vaults as case studies to illustrate the different groups and to highlight how the base theoretical outcomes may vary due to the unique building features. After showcasing the typology and the case studies, we discuss the further implications of these results and how they may prove useful for structural analysis or studying the interconnections and genealogy of these buildings. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd}, keywords = {Net Vault Typology; Laser-scanning-based building archaeology; Late Gothic net vaults; Rib-webbing connection; Ribbed vaults}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2212-0548}, orcid-numbers = {Krähling, János/0000-0001-7045-6650} } @article{MTMT:34832883, title = {A Methodological Approach and Geometry-Based Typology of Late-Gothic Net Vaults’ Rib Systems.

Based on the data gathered by laser-scanning the two buildings, the geometric system of the two vaults, as opposed to the former state of research, differ significantly from each other. While the rib system and webbing of the vault of Szeged-Alsóváros have features characteristic of pseudo-ribbed net vaults and net vaults with webbing built with formwork, the vault of Nyírbátor is likely a real net vault structure with webbing built freehand. Furthermore, the rib system of the vault of Szeged-Alsóváros can be described by a single curved surface deductible from a circle segment, the rib junction points’ spatial positions in the vault of Nyírbátor are only describable by coordinates in the three directions of the space, not by an even surface. Based on the geometric descriptions, we also attempted to reconstruct the plausible building methods in both cases. Finally, we considered the results of the geometric analysis and the underlying construction ideas deduced from it and gave a new evaluation regarding the earlier reasonings for the strong building connections of the two churches in regard to the guilds and master builders.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1588-2764}, pages = {229-256}, orcid-numbers = {Krähling, János/0000-0001-7045-6650} } @article{MTMT:33718159, title = {A Cross-Vault System’s Relative Periodisation based on Geometric Analysis.

As a result, we proved that the cross vaults composing the system cannot be hallmarked as the remains of a given building period, and even within a given cross vault, more building periods can appear. Combining the results of the different geometric analyses, we concluded six distinct scenarios concerning the relative periodisation of the elements composing the cross-vault system, complemented by the evaluation of these.
