Abstract
The computer analysis of steel braced barrel vaults is presented. This analysis is compared with the approximate method of analysis suggested by Baer. The drawbacks of Baer's method are discussed. The behaviour of these frames due to the effect of laterals, edge trusses and different types of bracing systems is predicted. Based on this parametric study an economic system of braced barrel vault is suggested for practical applications. © 1980.
