A Comparative Study of the Structural Performance of Different Types of Reticulated Dome Subjected to Distributed Loads

A Comparative Study of the Structural Performance of Different Types of Reticulated Dome Subjected to Distributed Loads

Whereas reticulated domes (i.e., domes composed of bars) are very material-efficient in general, the geodesic dome is claimed to be superior according to its patent holder, Richard Buckminster Fuller. Recent studies on the optimal design of reticulated domes do not allow a direct comparison between...
