Apparently I forgot to post the pictures of our barrel vault test that we made earlier in the semester. Here are the pictures up until the camera batteries died.

About 10 seconds after battery died we removed the form and due to a flaw in the form's construction it snagged one of the bricks and the whole thing collapsed.
