English term or phrase: transverse vaulting

è forse la stessa cosa di

xxxtrsprr

struttura a volta trasversale

Explanation:
Sono strutture dove le costole o archi sono ad un angolo di 90 gradi rispetto all'angolo della struttura.

Non credo che siano come arc-doubleau.

volte a crociera ad angoli acuti

Explanation:
In base alla definizione,
"Transverse vaulting : The use of ribs or arches set at right angles from the
corners of a structure."
mi sembra che si tratti delle classiche volte a crociera ad angoli acuti, uno degli elementi caratteristici della spinta verticale dell'architettura gotica.
