peer agreement (net): +4hammer post = poinçon Explanation: voir ci-dessous - je crois avoir trouver votre "bonheur" :-) Blochets: poutres horizontale partant des deux angles inférieurs d'une ferme de comble sans se rejoindre et soutenant le pied d'un ou de plusieurs poinçons. Hammerbeams: horizontal beams starting from the two bottom angles of a roof framework towards the centre and supporting the foot of one or several hammer posts. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/police.daniel/Riboul/Glossaire_roman... cantilever cantilever beam = poutre en console strut = jambe de force brace entretoise Owen Jordan, who has written his own guide to English churches, explained that a hammer beam roof was an ingenious way of spanning a space. A hammer beam is a series of cantilevers which lean against each other in the middle of the church. It works because it moves the load from the roof to half way down the walls – where the stone in the walls can act as the other half of the cantilever – resisting the turning moments of the roof itself. It is called a hammer beam primarily because of the embossed nature of the posts which form the struts and the braces within the hammer. |
