Abstract: A dome may be defined as a thin shell generated by the revolution of a regular curve about one of its axes. The shape of the dome depends up on the type of the curve and direction of the axis of revolution. The roof is curved and used to cover large storey buildings. The shell roof is useful when inside of the building is open and does not contain walls or pillars. Domes are used in variety of structures such as roof of circular areas, circular tanks, exhibition halls, auditoriums etc. Domes may be constructed of masonry, steel, timber and reinforced cement concrete. In this paper we design RCC dome roof structure by using manual methods which gives detail design of RCC domes. The procedure of designing RCC domes was clearly explained and from the Analysis and design we get the Meridional Reinforcement, hoop Reinforcement of a dome and ring beam Reinforcement.
Keywords: Dome, wind load, live load and dead load, Analysis, diameter of dome.
