  • Abstract:
  • one of the earliest architectural designs is the double-layered braced barrel vault. It is made comprised of a bracing element that connects the upper and bottom layers. Using this kind of barrel vault increases the vault's structural rigidity and offers highly promising structural systems with spans exceeding 100 meters. These kinds of structures are challenging to evaluate because to their high static indeterminacy. This research enhances structural analysis by introducing a new load type and variable parameter, comparing results to previous studies on membrane geometries. It examines the impact of bracing types, boundary conditions, and factors like pattern, depth-to-spacing ratio, and bracing configuration on force distribution, material usage, and cost under Indian loading conditions. The study also evaluates structural parameters such as span, deflection, self-weight, and cost, providing insights into optimal design solutions and buckling behavior in space trusses
