Abstract
ABSTRACTIt is assumed that the geometric form of the outer shell of a dome has an effect on the dome’s structural performance. By mathematical drawing of the arch forms used for different types of dome, it is possible to calculate their structural behaviour under different circumstances. It appears that each form of arch has different visual and structural effects and features, as well as different material requirements. The most distinctive arch, that is, Sarvak, represents very different behaviour from the other arch forms. Furthermore, variation of the thickness of the dome at higher levels has dramatic effects on level of structural stability.
