    Romanesque architecture used various prominent materials including stone, wood, glass, brick, concrete and finishes. Common stone types were sedimentary stone like travertine, igneous rocks such as tufa and granite, and metamorphic marble. Wood was used for trusses, with oak, elm, poplar, cypress and fir as options. Glass was used for windows. Brick and concrete incorporating lime, pozzolana and hydraulic cement were also building materials. Columns types included salvaged columns, drum columns and columns with ornate capitals. Vaulted roofs included barrel vaults, groin vaults, ribbed vaults and pointed arched vaults.

    ROMANESQUE

    ARCHITECTURE
    Prominent Materials
    1. Stone:
    •Sedimentary- travertine (has the capacity to carry heavy loads)
    • igneous- tufa (a porous, solidified volcanic mud) and granite
    •Metamorphic- marble
    2. Wood: application on use of the truss
    • Timber varieties available were oak, elm, poplar, cypress, fir, and alder
    •Fir-light wood, resists bending, desirable for use as joists
    •Oak- tight structure, must be buried in the ground and used as piers
    3. Glass-for windows
    Prominent Materials
    4. Brick:
    •baked bricks- made of clay and are burned to harden.
    5. Concrete:
    •Lime mortar is the initial component for concrete
    volcanic silica material called pozzolana
    hydraulic cement- lime and pozzolana are mixed
    6. Finishing:
    •plaster for walls and ceilings, and paints (Blue pigment was obtained through a
    complicated process involving sand, potassium nitrate and powdered copper, and
    Violet obtained from the sea mollusk)
