Very cool. So what is the optimal solution?
To maximize the strength and minimize the bricks used, is a sine the best shape, or is there a better curve, and what is the best period and amplitude of the waveform? Does this solution change with the height of the wall?
- asimpletune 3y agoMost likely you want the smallest curve that’s achieves an acceptable amount of stability. Since the wave exists to prevent the wall from toppling, a pure sine is probably overkill. So I guess a factor then will be how tall your wall is. A very tall wall will need a deep wave, just like a wall one brick high would need no wave at all.
