 The dome is the most widely seen example of three
dimensional compression. It is quite easy to see
why it is used for projects such as stadiums, theatres
and other large public locations. As seen on the
home page for this project, the Pantheon in Rome is
one of the most famous domes in existence. It has
become the benchmark for all domes built since its
time.
 The diagram above shows the components of a
dome. The ribbed structure is created by latitudinal

and longitudinal members. These members intersect
to create a strong three dimensional mesh. The
dome has a compression ring at the top. In most
cases, the foundation acts as a tension ring at the
base. In the cases where a dome is used for a type
of shelter, a membrane of other covering is
attached.

 The diagram above shows the horizontal loading of a
dome. The major example of horizontal loading is
caused by wind. The latitudinal bands transmit the
force created by the wind around each side of the
structure. The force is dissipated as it travels

 This diagram shows us the vertical loading on a
dome. Aside from the structure itself, snow creates
a large downward force on the dome. Like the wind
force that travels horizontally through the dome, this
force travels longitudinally down through the
structure. Depending on the use of the dome, the
forces are either transferred directly into a
foundation (as in an outdoor theatre or stadium) or
onto pendentives or squinches, onto the walls and
finally into the foundation (as in the Capitol or
Brunelleschi's Florence Cathedral dome). The
foundation for a modern dome is composed of stone
or concrete, with anchorages built in to tie down the
dome members.
 This animation is an excellent example of a geodesic
dome. Much like in a truss, the triangular shapes
give this type of dome its strength.

 This twelve graphics show many the different types
of layouts that can be used to create the ribbing structure
of a dome.
Relationship to our class' description of a
system:
 Developing a 3D compression system requires a
collection of engineers to design how the loads will be
distributed, equipment to shape the materials used, and
methods (such as pouring concrete) to form the actual
structure. All of these things organized together form a
structure capable of transmitting the loads imposed
upon it to the ground while providing a large
uninterrupted space.
