Equilibrium analysis of masonry domes
… to analyze the structural behavior of masonry domes: the modified thrust line analysis. This graphical-based method offers several advantages to existing methods. It is the first to account for the ability of domes to achieve a range of internal forces, gaining potentially an infinite number of …

Structural design of shallow masonry domes
… the viability of shallow, unreinforced masonry domes for the roof and floor systems of residential construction. In recent years, reinforced concrete (RCC) framed construction has been established as the dominant structural form for residential and commercial usage in the developing world, with …

Folding of stratigraphic layers in ice domes
This dissertation presents a two part model of the formation of recumbent folds in stratigraphic layers of ice sheets such as those in Greenland and Antarctica. The initial disturbances in the stratigraphy have their roots in transient dynamic processes and local rheological inhomogeneities, but …

Prestressed cable domes: structural behavior and design
… using less material to carry more loads. Cable domes are such unconventional structures based on the tensegrity principle. They rely on the assembly of prestressed cables in equilibrium with vertical struts. Members are stressed purely in axial tension or compression and as a consequence, the …

The effects of earthquake excitations on reticulated domes
… on the behavior of two full-sized reticulated domes subjected to uniform static loads only and uniform static loads with earthquake excitations. Space truss elements were used in the dome models. The stiffness matrix of the space truss element allows for the nonlinear strain-displacement …

Collapse analysis of unreinforced masonry domes and curving walls
… is the masonry dome. For historical masonry domes, small outward movements of the supports will cause cracking and may lead to collapse. The critical span increase to cause collapse of a hemispherical dome is determined for domes with varying thicknesses using two small-scale physical models. …

Design and an automated parametric study of geodesic domes
An automated parametric investigation of geodesic domes is conducted in this study. A brief description of the stiffness method of matrix structural analysis is included in addition to a discussion of the fully-stressed design procedure via the stress-ratio method. Automated solution algorithms …

Development of construction techniques in the Mamluk domes of Cairo
… A.D.); a special attention is dedicated to the domes that cover all the Mausolea and that represent an example of high expertise in Mediaeval architecture. This works document several stages of their construction from the Mausoleum of As- Sawabi, 1285 A.D. to the Funerary Complex of Amir …

Stability of reticulated domes under multiple static and dynamic loads
… is to investigate the stability of reticulated domes under multiple static and dynamic loads. Two elastic geometrically nonlinear structural models of a reticulated dome with 21 and 39 degrees of freedom are considered. The nonlinear response of the system to static loads is obtained using …

Effects Of Patch Size And Matrix Type On Bird Assemblages Within Central Florida Cypress Domes
… bird assemblages within central Florida cypress domes. My null hypothesis was that bird assemblages within cypress domes are unaffected by dome size or development in the matrix around the dome. My alternative hypothesis was that differences in bird assemblages are correlated with size and the …

Domes and Crosses: Exploiting synergies in two methodologies for biaxial tensile testing of membrane tissues
Biaxial tensile testing is the preferred method for mechanically testing membranous tissue as it can capture the tissue load response more holistically than uniaxial methods. There are two dominant approaches within the field of biaxial tensile testing: planar and bulge. Both methods can induce a …

Geometrically Nonlinear Analysis of Axially Symmetric, Composite Pressure Domes Using the Method of Multiple Shooting
… Parametric studies are performed for ellipsoidal domes constructed of symmetric, 8-ply laminates. The parametric studies examine the effects of dome geometry for a quasi-isotropic laminate first, then examine whether material properties may be adjusted to create a "better" design. Conclusions and …

An Acoustical Analysis of Domes Coupled to Rooms, with Special Application to the Darussholah Mosque, in East Java, Indonesia
… ceiling as part of their room structures. These domes are open on the bottom and coupled to the acoustic spaces below. In many cases, the lower spaces may be idealized rectangular enclosures. Owing to the distinctness and ubiquity of this basic architectural form, a thorough, fundamental analysis …
