Definiția și Sensul lui "corbel arch"

What is a "corbel arch"?

A corbel arch is a type of arch that is formed by stacking horizontal layers of stones or bricks, each projecting slightly beyond the one below it. This construction method creates a curved shape, resembling a traditional arch, but without the use of a true arch structure. Corbel arches are often seen in ancient architecture and can be found in various styles, from simple to intricate designs. They provide structural support while adding visual interest to buildings, often serving as decorative elements in doorways, windows, or ceilings.
