Most of the domes so far constructed are spherical in shape. But a parabolic dome has some extra advantages over and above those available in the case of a spherical dome. At the same time there is no difference in the method of construction between the two. This paper mainly deals with the comparative analysis of a parabolic dome with a spherical and conical one.

Abstract


Most of the domes so far constructed are spherical in shape. But a parabolic dome has some extra advantages over and above those available in the case of a spherical dome. At the same time there is no difference in the method of construction between the two. This paper mainly deals with the comparative analysis of a parabolic dome with a spherical and conical one.
