After the industrial revolution, a growing production of iron allowed a large scale spread of iron and brick construction. Between the late eighteenth and the early of the twentieth century, Europe experienced a transition from the use of traditional stone and brick masonry construction, to the progressive spread of iron and steel in composite construction with brick and, later, concrete. This phase is characterized by the use of iron and both hollow and solid brick jack arches. The result was often a pure experimentation with new techniques and materials that partly go back to tradition, and partly exploit the newly developed building materials. This paper aims to highlight, through the analysis of different examples, the role of this type of vaulted construction.
