1. What is a dome structure?
A domed hemispherical hollow structure used as a roof/ceiling. In architectural terms, a hemispherical structure with a curvature at the top, usually used to cover enough space for bulk storage, such as cement, limestone, coal, lignite, gypsum, additives, etc., is called a dome structure.
2. The importance of the dome structure in the construction industry
1. High strength
The mass storage dome structure is very durable and sturdy. If we talk about the strength and average building life of dome structures, they have a longer lifespan and higher strength than any other type of structure in the space frame industry.
2. Fireproof
After decades of actual data and fire tests, it was concluded that the dome’s fire resistance is superior to other similar structures.
3. Very energy saving
The dome structures do not require any internal support, so the generous space inside them satisfies their advantage of more storage.
4. Cost-effectiveness and good structural integrity
The dome structure has excellent structural sealing with minimal space and structural components, and its geometry has the advantage of conserving energy in the form of thermal energy, which makes the dome structure cost-effective.
5. Very low maintenance
The mass storage dome is easier to maintain than any other building, so the maintenance cost of the dome is lower.
6. Good acoustic quality
Where most sound needs to travel in a continuous manner, dome structures are preferable to other structures due to their good acoustic properties.
7. Resistant to bad weather conditions
Due to its hemispherical structure and no angles, the flat surface makes it highly resistant to severe weather conditions such as storms, hurricanes, etc.
8. Highly beautiful and versatile
It combines its essential features with the latest technology to make the dome structure more attractive and highly versatile in terms of installation/reinstallation as well as maintenance.
