Ramping arch
Ramping arches at Palau Dalmases [ca] in Barcelona

The ramping arch (also known as rampant arch, from French: arc rampant, and raking arch) is an asymmetrical arch that has its springers located at substantially different heights. Frequently a ramping arch is associated with a ramp or stairs.

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.
