Dome Roof Table

This document provides guidance on determining external pressure coefficients (Cp) for dome roof structures. It contains a figure showing Cp values for domes with a circular base, varying based on the ratio of the dome rise to diameter. The notes provide instructions on using linear interpolation between data points, which surface pressure zones to consider, and when additional analysis may be required.

Ratio of Rise to Diameter, flD
External Pressure Coefficients for Domes with a Circular Base.
(Adapted from Eurocode, 1995)
Notes:
1. Two load cases shall be considered:
Case A. C, values between A and B and between B and C shall be determined by linear
interpolation along arcs on the dome parallel to the wind direction;
Case B. C, shall be the constant value of A for 6 1 25 degrees, and shall be determined by linear
interpolation from 25 degrees to B and from B to C.
2. Values denote C, to be used with q @ * ~where h D + f is the height at the top of the dome.
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the surfaces, respectively.
4. C, is constant on the dome surface for arcs of circles perpendicular to the wind direction; for example,
the arc passing through B-B-B and all arcs parallel to B-B-B.
5. For values of h a between those listed on the graph curves, linear interpolation shall be permitted.
6. 0 = 0 degrees on dome springline, 0 = 90 degrees at dome center top point. f is memured from
springline to top.
7. The total horizontal shear shall not be less than that determined by neglecting w~ndforces on roof
surfaces.
8. For flD values less than 0.05, use Figure 6-6.
