Concrete domes are found in a variety of situations such as chemical storage tanks, water-retaining structures, mosques, libraries and synagogues. This volume provides structural calculations and design tables for the construction of concrete domes. Although emphasis is placed on reinforced and prestressed concrete domes, the theory outlined in this book can be applied to all types of construction material, such as wood and plastic. Key Features - The only volume to fully address problems specific to dome construction, such as wind pressure and snow fall, making it one of the definitive books on concrete dome construction. Deals with elastic method of design and membrane theory, most books cover membrane theory only. Covers BS8110 and other codes of practice from around the world for global market potential. Uses SI and BI units of measurement. Includes 240 tables in 2 appendices covering prestressed and non- prestressed dome construction. It is aimed at the professional level - civil and structural engineers and local authority engineers.
