dc.description.abstract | This paper is concerned with the optimal design of submerged domes. In addition to the hydrostatic pressure, the dome structure has to carry its own weight and a skin cover load. The loads are assumed to be transmitted through the dome structure to the supporting ring foundation via membrane forces only. By adopting a fully stressed design, the problem in hand is to determine the shape and thickness variation of the submerged dome. The set of nonlinear differential equations and boundary conditions constitute a two-point boundary problem that can be solved by a shooting-optimization method. Based on a family of fully stressed designs associated with a given water depth and dome height, the optimal dome shape for minimum weight is identified. © 2005 Civil-Comp Press. | |
