This article focuses on the shape of the vaults that cover the rooms of the Fort of Umm al-Dabadib (Kharga Oasis, Egypt’s Western Desert), dating to the Late Roman Period. This building is the central element of the contemporary Fortified Settlement, consisting of a dense, three-dimensional mosaic of domestic units, all covered by similar vaults, and belonging to a chain of similar installations. Two elements make Umm al-Dabadib an interesting case-study: the excellent preservation of its architectural remains, and the possibility to rely on an accurate photogrammetric survey of the entire built-up area. Thanks to this combination, it was possible to analyse the geometric shape of the vaults in connection to the ancient building techniques. The study determined that the vaults of the Fort are elliptical; this conclusion will impact on the study of all the similar settlements built in the Kharga Oasis, and possibly to other contemporary buildings elsewhere in Egypt.

Umm al-Dabadib 的拱顶:几何研究

本文重点介绍可追溯至罗马晚期的 Umm al-Dabadib 堡垒(埃及西部沙漠哈尔加绿洲)房间的拱顶形状。这座建筑是当代堡垒定居点的中心元素,由密集的三维马赛克家庭单元组成,所有单元都被类似的拱顶覆盖,属于一系列类似的装置。两个要素使 Umm al-Dabadib 成为一个有趣的案例研究:其建筑遗迹的出色保存,以及依赖对整个建筑区域进行准确摄影测量的可能性。由于这种组合,可以分析与古代建筑技术相关的拱顶的几何形状。研究确定堡垒的拱顶是椭圆形的;
