Abstract
The geometry and the finite element method modelling of a lattice dome is presented.
Linear analyses and geometrically nonlinear analyses of the dome are performed. In
addition, a buckling load prediction method is studied and extended to the multiple
load distributions.
The results obtained from linear analyses are checked against the requirements of
NDS, National Design Standard.
