initial forces values in the double-layer metal dome in case of elimination of normal and meridional imperfections of installation

OF INSTALLATION Computer analysis of the values of the initial forces due to force elimination of assembly errors of double-layer framed metal dome has been performed. The position errors of nodes of pair meridional ribs were considered in the normal and meridional directions at installation of the dome frame with temporary central support. For selected nodes concentrated forces were applied to eliminate the relative deviations of adjacent ribs and the resulting internal forces in the bars were registered. The values of these internal forces were compared to the forces in bars resulting from the dead load and design load. The results of the investigation are presented in the form of figures, diagrams, tables and graphs. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, conclusions are made about the influence of initial forces on the stress state of the frame of the dome.
