We focus on masonry domes which are considered architectural landmarks either in different historical periods and in different cultural contexts. Here we investigate the mathematical connection between catenary and parabola in masonry dome structure, referring in particular to Brunelleschi's dome in Florence, Saint Peter's dome in Rome and San Gaudenzio's dome in Novara (Italy).

Abstract
We focus on masonry domes which are considered architectural landmarks either in different historical periods and in different cultural contexts. Here we investigate the mathematical connection between catenary and parabola in masonry dome structure, referring in particular to Brunelleschi's dome in Florence, Saint Peter's dome in Rome and San Gaudenzio's dome in Novara (Italy).File in questo prodotto:
