Dome Structure – Why are domes important in construction industry?

A dome is an element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere. Dome is a rounded vault mode of either curved segments or a shell of revolution, meaning an arch rotated around its central vertical axis. Dome structures made of various materials and has an architectural lineage extending into prehistory.

Importance of Dome structure in construction industry:

• High Strength: Dome structures are highly durable and strong. If we talk about stability and average building life of dome structures, their life is longer and stability is more than any other type of structure in steel structure industry.
• Very Low Maintenance: Dome structures are comparatively easier to maintain than any other building primarily due to the curved geometry, therefore the cost of maintenance on these structure is lesser.
• Resistant to adverse weather condition: Due to its hemispherical Structure and absence of angles, flat surfaces makes them highly resistant to adverse weather condition such as Earthquakes, cyclones etc.
• Extremely Energy Efficient: Bulk Storage dome structure does not need any interior support and thereby wide space inside them cater them the benefit of more storage. Moreover, there is substantial reduction in the weight of material that Is utilized leading to lower carbon footprint.
• Good Acoustic Quality: In Most of the places where sounds need to travel in continuous manner, dome structures are more preferable as compared to other structures due to good acoustic nature.

Due to these great benefits, dome structures are highly preferable in the construction industry.
