Analysis of Structural Layouts of Geodesic Dome Structures with Bar Filler Considering Air Transportation

The results are presented from a study of three-layer geodesic dome structures with bar fillers under their own weight. An algorithm was developed for selecting the type of structural layout used and the reference parameters chosen in terms of the technological, strength, and weight characteristics. The results of this analysis aim to make it easier for designers to determine the optimal reference parameters in the initial stage of the designing of geodetic hemispherical dome structures, the construction of which is planned to be carried out in remote areas with harsh climatic conditions. Due to the lack of sufficient ground transport infrastructure, cargo delivery to these regions is currently possible only with the help of air transport. The importance of this study rests on the lack of adequate methods for the determination of the reference parameters for geodesic hemispherical dome structures at an early stage of design. In particular, it is common for the issues regarding the transportation of structural elements as well as those that involve ensuring the strength and the technological characteristics of the structure to not be considered simultaneously. This study owes its relevance to the rapid development of the uninhabited territories of the Russian Federation in the context of the global ecological crisis caused by anthropogenic impact on the environment.
