A » A barrel vault is a continuous, semi-cylindrical structure resembling a tunnel, formed by the extrusion of a single curve along a given distance. In contrast, a groin vault is created by the perpendicular intersection of two barrel vaults, resulting in a more complex design that forms a series of ridges. Groin vaults allow for larger openings and are often used to support ceilings in spacious architectural settings.
