Design Calculation FOR: Dome Structure - Type 1
FOR
DOME STRUCTURE – TYPE 1
I. General
1. Design Philosophy
The purpose of this calculation is to design the dome structure for its integrity,
strength and stability verification. The result of this conclusion is that the
structure considered adequate in meeting the required of design criteria.
2. Unit of Measurement
2. Materials
3. Loading
Additional Point load of 100 Kgs = 1 KN shall be placed at the centre of dome.
Where,
For the calculation of S2, ground roughness, building size and height above
ground, factor S2 = 0.95, as per CP3: Chapter V: Part 2, Clause 1 (Open country
with no obstructions), class B for 4m average height.
K – constant = 0.613
4. Load Combinations
as per BS standard,
UL = 1.4 DL + 1.6 LL
The dome structure with a diameter 6.40m and a height of 3.20m is considered
and as shown and the spacing between each truss is considered in radial at an
angle of 30º and the distance at the end of the bays.
Loads are calculated on the spacing between the structures which are as follows:
Dead Loads:
a) Self Weight to be checked from the program
b) Dead load of 100 Kg/m2 of the glass panels is calculated as
1.0 X 1.50 = 1.50 KN/m
Wind Loads:
To check the dome structure against all the above loading combination and to be
on factor of safety (see attached calculations made by the structural program
STAADPRO).
Hence, Maximum clear span of Glass Panel is considered as 1.50 m as per shop
drawings.
B.M (max) = w l2 /8
Fb = M / Z
Z = 28,776.6 mm3
Fb = 315,000 / 28,776.60
The Actual Bending Stress is less than the Allowable Bending Stress, Hence, the
section is Safe.
E = 72000 MPa
I xx = 189,062.26 mm4
δ = 3.906mm
δ < 4mm
Hence the deflection is less than the permissible value, and safe against
deflection.
Fx = 11.12 KN,
Fy = 23.05 KN &
The Resultant force acting on the surface of the bolt should be less than the
capacities of the bolt used.
F1 = SQRT (123.65 + 0)
F1 = SQRT (123.65)
F1 = 11.12 KN
Hence, 2-M-16 Gr 8.8 bolt is safe enough to resist the Shear Force.
6. Conclusion:
All the materials used in the dome structure for all spans are structurally sufficient
and meets its intended purpose.
