Ms. Nolan’s class had great fun planning & building a corbelled bridge in a classroom STEM activity.
A corbel arch (or corbeled / corbelled arch) is an arch-like construction method that uses the architectural technique of corbeling to span a space or void in a structure, such as an entranceway in a wall or as the span of a bridge.
A corbel vault uses this technique to support the superstructure of a building’s roof.
