Lateral Thrust
Medieval architects turned sideways forces into soaring cathedrals with flying buttresses

Why are flying buttresses essential in buildings with vaulted ceilings?
They primarily support the weight of the roof vertically without affecting lateral forces.
They transfer lateral thrust from walls to external supports, preventing collapse.
They are purely decorative elements with no structural function.
