Domed structures are widely used in many types of buildings, such as museums, churches, masjids, old historic buildings, and many other similar buildings because they have an amazing view from outside and inside the building.
They are also used in industrial plants, such as cement plants, for the storage and blending of limestone and cement clinker. The advantage of domes structures are listed below:
- They give large spans for these areas up to 500 feet.
- They provide precise, easy, and handy material handling operations under one roof, such as loading, unloading, transportation, storing, and feeding.
- They maximize the space for labor for all operational works.
- They maintain energy efficiency levels.
- They provide additional spaces for future extensions.
This course covers domed steel structures, particularly for industrial use, as they have additional structural requirements differing from historical buildings.
The course covers all structural design processes, starting from choosing of statical system, determination of loads, analysis, and design of structural members. It also covers the erection methods for a domed structure.
The course involves a deep study of the determination of loads on domed structures in accordance with ASCE7-22.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the shapes used for dome structures.
- Describe the static systems of dome structures, including roofs, walls, and secondary members.
- Determine dead, roof live, snow, dust, wind, and temperature loads for dome structures.
- Design the structural members of a dome.
- Explain erection methods for dome structures.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
