University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences Geodesic Dome Structural Analysis and Design A dissertation submitted by Zhuohao Peng in fulfilment of the requirements of ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil Engineering) Submitted October, 2016 i Abstract Geodesic dome is one of the simplest forms of structure which has a very unique spherical or partial-spherical shape. The skeleton of the structure consists a number of unequal and straight Structural members to form its many stable triangular elements in order to provide resistance to the gravitational, wind and seismic loads.
also to verify a designing methodology and to develop design procedure based on the most critical loading, that is wind load for this type of structure. The aid of computational analysis has been considered as the key tool to obtain design data from the complex 3D dome model, and then manually checked against steel structure standards AS 4100-1998.
