A DOME STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/196846
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A structure comprises a plurality of spherical triangular units (100, 200, 300) on a plurality of levels. The plurality of spherical triangular units (100, 200) on one level of the plurality of levels are essentially identical to each other and are essentially equally spaced radially relative to a center of a sphere (10). Each of the plurality of spherical triangular units (100, 200, 300) comprises three planar panels (110, 120, 130, 210, 220, 230, 310, 320, 330), each with an end surface (101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203, 301, 302, 303) comprising a minor arc of a great circle of the sphere (10). A spherical triangular unit (300) on a level above the first level of the structure is configured to be joined with two neighboring spherical triangular units (100, 200) on the level below. The structure is substantially a dome. The structure has a superior ability to survive disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes etc. The above structure is cost-efficient, energy efficient, extremely durable and easily maintained.
