Abstract: |
The structure described in this paper is a spherical reinforced concrete 'umbrella' cover atop a complex of three-story reinforced concrete panel buildings housing command, control and communications facilities. The dome encloses a large volume. Its analysis, design and construction required procedures which reflected its unusual features. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general profile of this structure with emphasis on its construction. A general description of the dome is provided so that a perspective for its dimensions may be drawn. |
