Definitions
- the present invention relates to a domed steel roof structure.
- the invention has been primarily developed for use in building large industrial, commercial and sporting complexes and will be described hereinafter with reference to these applications. However, the invention is not limited to these applications and is also suitable for other steel structural and architectural works.
- Australian Patent Application No. 2008202182 discloses embodiments of domed steel roof structures that are able to withstand far greater loads than conventional roof structures of similar size and produced from similar materials.
- the disclosed structures can be designed to meet strength and dynamic requirements, whilst reducing the need to increase the material added to the structure to satisfy deflection requirements.
- the disclosed structures are also lighter and cheaper than existing comparable structures, particularly when foundation savings are taken into account and are also readily adaptable for use in demountable applications.
- the present invention provides a domed steel roof structure, the roof structure including:
- each of the roof members including:
- first opposed side surfaces diverging from the upper surface to the lower surface
- second opposed side surfaces diverging from the upper surface to the lower surface
- the roof members preferably include a pair of first passages and a pair of second passages.
- Each of the first passages are preferably disposed substantially adjacent each of the second side surfaces and each of the second passages are preferably disposed substantially adjacent each of the first side surfaces.
- Each of the roof members are preferably curved along the first direction and curved along the second direction.
- each of the roof members are preferably in the shape of a portion of a dome or sphere.
- the first passages preferably include a plurality of first cables passing therethrough and the second passages preferably include a plurality of second cables passing therethrough.
- Each of the roof members in the domed roof structure are preferably
- the exterior sides of the domed steel roof structure preferably include reinforcing truss or beam arrangements.
- the roof structure preferably includes one or more first hinges between the first side surfaces of adjacent roof members and one or more second hinges between the second side surfaces of adjacent roof members.

- Fig. 7 is a fifth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure
- Fig. 8 is a sixth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure
- Figs. 9a to 9d are embodiments of external beam configurations of roof members
- Fig 10 is a schematic perspective view of the intermediate assembly of a seventh embodiment of a domed steel roof structure
- Fig 11 is a schematic perspective view of a roof member used in an eigth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure.
- Fig 12 is a schematic perspective view of the eigth embodiment of domed steel roof structure shown in Fig. 11, with tensile lines of resistance shown for resisting upward loads.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a domed steel roof structure 10.
- the structure 10 is comprised of sixteen steel, generally rectangular (or square) roof members 12 arranged in a four by four matrix.
- the structure 10 can be of any dimension, subject to material considerations. As an example only, the structure 10 is between about 5-25m long and wide.
- Fig. 2 shows one of the roof members 12 in isolation.
- the roof members 12 are all in the shape of a portion or segment of a dome or sphere.
- the roof member 12 includes an upper surface 14 and a lower surface 16.
- a pair of opposed first side surfaces 18a and 18b are angled with respect to each other to diverge from the upper surface 14 to the lower surface 16.
- a pair of opposed second side surfaces 20a and 20b similarly diverge from the upper surface 14 to the lower surface 16.
- the pair of first side surfaces 18a and 18b are orientated substantially normally to the pair of second side surfaces 20a, 20b.
- the roof member 12 also includes a pair of first passages 22a and 22b which extend through the roof member 12 from the first side surface 18a to the opposed first side surface 18b.
- the roof member 12 also includes a similar pair of second passages 24a and 24b which extend from the second side surface 20a to the opposed second side surface 20b.
- the first passages 22a, 22b are positioned near the second side surfaces 20a, 20b and the second passages 24a, 24b are positioned near the first side surfaces 18a, 18b.
- Fig. 3 shows four of the roof members 12 initially positioned adjacent one another upon ground level.
- Four of the first cables 28 are respectively passed through adjacent first passages 22a in each of the roof members 12.
- Four of the second cables 29 are similarly passed through respective adjacent second passages 24a and 24b.
- the roof members 12 are then positioned with the edges between their top surfaces 14 and adjacent first sides 18a and 18b in contact. An angled gap is thus formed between the adjacent first side surfaces 18a and 18b.
- a force is then applied to the ends of the first cables 28, relative to the roof members 12, adjacent the outermost two of the sides 18a and 18b, for example by jacking. The force drives the roof members 12 together in a manner which increases the overall angle between them and reduces the angled gap.
- a similar force is also applied to the ends of the second cables 29. The forces drive the roof members 12 together in a manner which increases the overall angle between them and reduces the angled gaps. This movement causes the roof members 12 to rise towards the domed configuration shown in Fig. 4.
- the cables 28 and 29 are then bonded to the roof members 12, for example by applying grout into the passages 22a and 22b.
- the external ends of the cables 28 and 29 are releasably fixed relative to the external sides 18a and 18b of the roof structure 10', for example by clamping, and are left unbonded .
- the domed roof structure 10 can advantageously be quickly, easily and relatively inexpensively built, as extensive scaffolding and false work is not required to facilitate construction.
- the structure 10 can be produced in a range of sizes to suit small and large span buildings.
- the structure 10 can be created permanent or demountable form.
- the domed roof structure 10 also possesses the load resisting advantages of the domed steel roof frames disclosed in Australian Patent Application No. 2008202182.
- Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of a domed steel roof structure 50.
- the structure 50 is similar to the structure 10 and like features have been indicated with like •reference numerals to those used to describe the structure 10.
- the exterior sides and edges of the structure 50 are reinforced by truss and beam arrangements 52 and the structure 50 is elevated by columns 54.
- Fig. 6 shows a fourth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure 60, which is also similar to the roof structure 10 shown in Fig. 1, aside from the addition of reinforced supporting columns 62 at each corner.
- Fig. 7 shows a fifth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure 70, which is similar to the roof structure 60 shown in Fig. 6, aside from inverted supporting columns 72 at each comer.
- Fig. 8 shows a sixth embodiment of a domed steel roof structure 80, which again is similar to the roof structures 60 and 70 shown in Figs. 6 and 7, aside from the form of supporting columns 82 at each corner.
- Figs. 9a to 9d show cross-sectional views of beam and/or truss members 90a, 90b, 90c and 90d used to form the periphery of alternative roof members 12.
- the ⁇ beam/truss members 90a, 90b, 90c and 90d are initially produced in straight lengths then rolled to produce segments that are arcuate in nature and thus suitable to form the exterior/sides of the roof members 12.
- Each of the beam/truss members 90a, 90b, 90c and 90d also incorporate a passage 92 and is shown with one or more cables 94 therein.
- the assembly of a seventh embodiment of domed steel roof structure 96 from 4 of the roof members 12 will now be described with reference to Fig. 10.
- the roof structure 96 is similar to that described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4, except for the addition of hinges 98 between the adjacent roof members 12.
- the hinges 98 assist in keeping the roof members 12 positioned with the edge between their top surfaces 14 and adjacent first sides 18a and 18b and adjacent second sides 20a and 20b in contact during their rise towards the completed domed configuration.
- Fig. 11 shows a roof member 100 of an eighth embodiment of domed steel roof structire in isolation.
- the roof member 100 is similar to the roof member 12 shown in Figure 2, expect for the addition of hinges 102, similar to those described with reference to Fig. 10, at each corner of the roof member 100.
- Fig. 12 shows the roof structure 80 of Fig. 8 with the addition of arrows showing the tensile lines of resistance in the roof structure 80 when it is subjected to its intended (upward) load during use.
- the tension in the cables advantageously also resists deflection in the structure 80 caused by that load.
- the structure 80 is able to resist deflection under its designed load conditions as the tension applied to the cables (to assemble the structure . 80) relative to the roof members also stores strain energy in the structure 80.
- the counter strain stored in the structure 80 resists the application of that load, thereby advantageously increasing the load capacity of the structure 80 for a given deflection.
