The force pushing and pulling the wall are balancing.

The continuity from top of the wall to the bottom helps the loading tranfer directly to the foundation.

The geometry of the vault roof and its resulting forces determin the undulated profile of walls.

The repeated curving helps enhance the wall structure. Damamge easily occurs to different curvature.

Distributed spreading force of vault Shear force on edge beam moment force on edge beam

The curve of the edge beam approximates the shape of the moment diagram created by the vault, converting bending into axial forces.

The undergarment was constructed from tiny pieces of hollow bamboo sewn together to create a mesh. The effect of this open-work construction was like that of a modern string vest: it trapped the air, kept the wearer cool and dry in the hot weather, and protected the outer clothing.

The pattern of the bamboo helps breathability. The nodes among the hollow bamboo sticks creates air flow that enhance the structure of mesh, preventing the outergarment irritated by the skin.
