A » A ribbed vault is constructed by first erecting a wooden framework to support the design's arches. Stone ribs are then placed along this framework to create the vault's skeletal structure. The spaces between the ribs, called webs, are filled with lighter materials such as stone or brick. Once the ribs and webs are in place, the wooden framework is removed, leaving a strong, self-supporting structure that adds elegance and strength to a ceiling.
