1. Vault

   A Vault is an architectural term for an arched form used to provide a space with a ceiling or roof. The parts of a vault exert lateral thrust that require a counter resistance. When vaults are built underground, the ground gives all the resistance required. However, when the vault is built above ground, various replacements are employed to supply the needed resistance. An example is the thicker walls used in the case of barrel or continuous vaults. Buttresses are used to supply resistance when intersecting vaults are employed. The simplest kind of vault is the barrel vault which is generally semicircular in shape. The barrel vault is a continuous arch, the length being greater than its diameter. As in building an arch, a temporary support is needed while rings of voussoirs are constructed and the rings placed in position. Until the topmost voussoir, the keystone, is positioned the vault is not self-supporting. Where timber is easily obtained, this temporary support is provided by centering consisting of a framed truss with a semicircular or segmental head, which supports the voussoirs until the ring of the whole arch is completed. With a barrel vault, the centering can then be shifted on to support the next rings.

Examples of vault in a Sentence

1. Eric Fleegler:

   Consumer safety laws, which regulate everything from cars to teddy bears, are essentially non-existent when it comes to firearms, if parents own a gun, the safest approach is to store them outside of the home such as in a bank vault. If they are stored at home it is essential to store them safety locked, separated from locked ammunition.

2. Farley Cahen:

   Video security or not, many are also asking why someone with $ 10 million in jewelry in their room would n’t have an armed guard or two outside. Farley Cahen owns the high end body jewelry site MyBellyRing.com. Farley Cahen says the lack of security guards makes no sense. Any jeweler will tell you that if you loan somebody that amount of goods security measures are in place, it doesn't sound like there was a vault in the room. It would've cost less than $ 1,000 for the night to have armed guards outside the door or even in the apartment. All very questionable. FOX411 reached out to a rep for Hotel Pourtales who said in an email :.

3. Frans Timmermans:

   While this scarcity model certainly benefited Disney, the promise of having access to everything in the Disney vault on demand is a huge draw for fans.

5. Henry James, "The Ambassadors", Book Ninth, Chapter 2:

   She had fortunately always her appetite for news. The pure flame of the disinterested burned in her cave of treasures as a lamp in a Byzantine vault.
