A study of the ancient domical architecture in Near Middle East by use of the 3D digitalmeasuring techniques

作者在约旦进行了球三角形穹顶的建筑现场作品；佩特拉的浴场，安曼附近的Nuweijis浴场和杰拉什的West浴场，并分析它们的形式和建造日期。因此，以下几点得到确认。佩特拉的浴场（1世纪下半叶）不适合作为悬挂式穹顶的候选地，因为它没有令人满意的悬挂式家庭的所有元素。安曼附近的Nuweijis（公元2世纪中期）和杰拉什的West Baths（公元2世纪25年）都是由切割的石头圆顶制成的，并且具有悬挂式圆顶的所有元素。新的测量证实，这两个纪念碑都有真正的球形三角形垂饰。特别指出，努威基人的悬顶多为完美半球。

The author made architectural field works of spherical-trianglependentive domes in Jordan; Baths at Petra, Nuweijis near Amman and West Baths at Jerash,and analyze their form and construction date. As a result, the following points areconfirmed. Baths at Petra (second half of the 1st century) is not acceptable as ancandidate of pendentive dome, because it has not all elements of pendentive domesatisfactorily. Nuweijis near Amman (mid-2nd century) and West Baths at Jerash (thirdquarter of the 2nd century) are both made of cut stone voussoir and have all elementsof pendentive dome adequately. New measurements confirm that both monuments have truespherical-triangle pendentive. Especially, it is clarified that pendentive dome ofNuweijis is mostly perfect hemisphere.
