Abstract

The present invention relates to a system, method and apparatus for constructing dome- shaped buildings and in particular dome-shaped buildings using Sandwich Shell technology. The invention has been developed primarily for use as a system, method and apparatus for: (a) designing Compound Curve Sandwich Shell Structures (buildings) to have the requisite performance characteristics to withstand specified environmental conditions, including: (I) a computer-based modelling facility; and (ii) a 'proof of concept' facility to verify the structure modeled against verified, calibrated data from FEA analysis and/or thermal, light and other geographic data; and (iii) a plan generation facility; (b) constructing lightweight Compound Curve Sandwich Shell Structure (C2S3) buildings to have improved structural ratings and more efficient acoustic and thermal performance qualities under extreme operating conditions, including cyclonic wind loads, extreme temperatures and seismic loads; and (c) constructing C2S3 under specified conditions including extreme conditions; and (d) providing C2S3 in a prefabricated form for transportation and assembly on site. However, it will be appreciated that the invention Is not restricted to this particular field of use.
