Shaping and analysis of dome structure for the Krešimir Ćosić Hall in Zadar
Abstract
The behaviour of the static system of the hall, and numerical procedures applied in structural analysis,are described in the paper. Problems caused by dome shape, and interventions needed to eliminatesuch problems, are presented in some detail. Algorithms used for proving bearing capacity are brieflypresented, and the approach adopted in stability analysis is described in more detail. An emphasis isplaced on some difficulties identified during structural analysis that have still remained unsolved, whichis primarily due to insufficient number of experiments.
