Vault may refer to ...
Vault (activity)
- Vault (activity) - to jump across or leap over (an obstacle); the act of jumping over an obstacle, to vigorously jump
- Vault (cheerleading) - A cheerleading stunt in which the hands of the top person are used to assist in clearing a base(s) or prop(s)
- Vault (equestrian) - a sport that combines gymnastics and dance on a moving horse.
- Vault (fencing) - From en garde with right foot forward, the forward knee straightens while the rear foot steps behind, to the right, and forward, thus pulling the forward foot to pivot around on the ball of the foot so that the back is turned forward. This step is used to evade a thrust by removing the torso from the line of attack.
- Voltigeurs - From La Grande Armée. Voltigeurs (literally Vaulters or Leapers) were élite light infantry of the line regiments. In 1805, Napoleon ordered that the smallest, most agile men of the line battalions be chosen to form a Voltigeur company. These troops were to be second only to the Grenadiers in the battalion hierarchy. Their name comes from their original mission. Voltigeurs were to combat enemy cavalry by vaulting up onto the enemy's horses, a fanciful idea which failed to succeed in combat. Despite this, the Voltigeurs did perform a valuable task, skirmishing and providing scouts for each battalion, as well as providing an organic light infantry component for each line regiment. In Voltigeur training, emphasis was placed on marksmanship and quick movement.
Vault (architecture)
- Vault (architecture) - any architecture arched structure of stone or masonry (as opposed to wood) forming a ceiling or roof over the casemates, galleries or other spaces. A covering system made by consecutive semi-round/circular arches.
Sub-types in architecture
- Barrel vault - An architecture tunnel vault or barrel vault is a semicircular arch extended in depth: a continuous series of arches, one behind the other. The simplest form of an architecture vault, consisting of a continuous surface of semicircular or pointed sections. It resembles a barrel or tunnel which has been cut in half lengthwise and is known as tunnel vault or wagon vault. A longitudinal barrel vault is a barrel (or tunnel) vault which follows the main longitudinal direction of the nave. Usually when a vault is referred to simply as a barrel (or tunnel) vault, it may be assumed to be a longitudinal barrel vault.
- Catalan vault - The Catalan vault, also called the Catalan turn or Catalan arch, is a type of low arch made of plain bricks. It is traditionally constructed by laying bricks lengthwise, making it a much gentler curve than has generally been produced by other methods of construction.
- Cloister vault - A domelike vault having a square or polygonal base from which curved segments rise to a central point. Also called domical vault.
- Fan vault - An architecure vault which consists of fan-shaped half cones which usually meet at the center of a vault.
- Groin vault - An architecture groin vault is formed when two barrel vaults intersect. The undersurface, or soffit, may be generated from a series of pointed, rather than round, arches. Also known as a cross vault. An architecture vault produced by the intersection at right angles of two barrel (tunnel) vaults. Sometimes the arches of groin vaults may be pointed instead of round.
- Lierne (vault) - A Lierne (from the French lier - to bind) in Gothic rib vaulting is an architectural term for a tertiary rib spanning between two other ribs, instead of from a springer, or to the central boss.
- Net vault - a vault on which a complex of ribs gives a net-like appearance.
- Nubian vault - a contour that obtained when a chain is held up at its two ends.
- Ogival vault - An architecture vault
- Parabolic vault - An architecture vault
- Rib vault - A ribbed vault is any vault reinforced by masonry ribs. Also known as a ribbed vault. A rib vault may be a quadripartite rib vault (which is divided into four sections by two diagonal ribs) and a sexpartite rib vault (a rib vault whose surface is divided into six sections by three ribs).
Vault (fiction)
- The Vault (Marvel Comics), an underground facility in the Marvel Universe.
Vault (location)
- Vault Beach - a beach on the south coast of Cornwall
Vault (mind concept)
- Cloister-vault - A Cloister-vault is a vault resulting from the intersection of two barrel-vaults crossing in a right angle.
- Vault (math) - a mathematical construct that consist of two equal half-cylinders of radius that intersect at right angles so that the lines of their intersections (the "groins") terminate in the polyhedron vertices of a square. Two vaults placed bottom-to-top form a Steinmetz solid on two cylinders.
- Vault (meteorology) - A bounded weak echo region (abbreviated BWER) of a nearly vertical channel of weak radar echo, surrounded on the sides and top by significantly stronger echo. The BWER, sometimes called a vault, is related to the strong updraft in a severe convective storm that carries newly formed hydrometeors to high levels before they can grow to radar- detectable sizes. BWERs are typically found at midlevels of convective storms, 3–10 km above the ground, and are a few kilometers in horizontal diameter. See also weak echo region.
Vault (people and companies)
- Vault (drummer), drummer of Dark Lunacy band
- Vault (company), a recruitment company
Vault (physical articles)
- Double vault - dry toilet; composting latrine
- Vault (gymnastics) - an artistic gymnastics apparatus, the standard of which changed from a vaulting horse to a vaulting table.

- Bank vault - a strong room or compartment (often made of steel) for safekeeping of valuables. It is a secure room or rooms in a financial institution where cash on hand is stored and safe deposit boxes are located.
- Burial vault - a burial chamber (usually underground). Cemetery vaults are underground tombs. The word comes from the Latin uoluere, which suggests a turning, referring in the case of vaults to the curving roof of the structure.
- Document vault - A storage vault to archive office documents in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment with fire suppression that will protect the media stored within.
Electronic
- EDM vault - The EDM System's computerized data storage area and databases. System rules and processes control information stored in the EDM vault. A term used to designate the secure storage location for documents in an EDM system.
- Vault (revision control system) - a revision control system made by SourceGear. Their main thrust is towards existing users of Visual Source Safe, but they claim better performance as it's stored in SQL Server 2000.
