    Would you be willing to upload one of the segments (in OBJ ideally)?

    Sure, see link

    I'm not getting the extreme affect you had (using default iray settings), but you don't have any bevels along the inner angles - where the "serifs" meet the upright of the I shape alonmg the curve of the arch - and if I add some theer is does reduce the shading artefacts at the ends of the sides a bit. I also tried adding a bit more bevelling on the upright join, but I don't think that had much effect.

    Your issue is still the smoothing angle.  Because you have a bevelled edge, it is calculating the smoothing based on each of the edges in the bevel.
    When the angle at the joint between surface a and surface b is equal to or less than x the program interperates it as a curve.

    Your problem is the angles for the bevelling are messing with how the model is displayed
    A dirty solution could be to add a subdivision cut right next to the end of the bevel to keep the smoothing away from the main faces.

    OK so basically what people are saying is I shouldnt bevel? I need the beveling in the edges as the finished reder will be of an ancient structure so there needs to be wear on the edges. Is there a better way to do this?
