- Originally used to support inclined structures, like stairs or ramps, in the 13th-14th centuries the rampant arch appeared as parts of flying buttresses used to counteract the thrust of Gothic ribbed vaults, typical design was based on a truncated semicircular arch.
- Viollet-le-Duc in 1854 described two arch types in buttresses: the earlier one where the center of the intrados segment is located on the face of the wall, and the later, more efficient, design where the center is moved inside the wall, narrowing the segment.
