This documentary reveals the technological leaps forward that have allowed some of the world’s largest dome’s to be built. The Oita Stadium in Japan has a colossal roof spanning a mighty 274 metres. A steel, Teflon and titanium structure over 270 metres across, and 60 metres high, the Oita’s roof covers a sports stadium big enough to seat 43 thousand spectators. At the flick of a switch its seats retract to reveal a running track and its roof opens and closes like a giant eye.
The film explores how this building was made possible through a series of six engineering breakthroughs. We explore how six landmark buildings - including the Pantheon in Rome and Florence Cathedral - each feature a major technological innovation that allowed engineers to build bigger Domes. Using computer generated imagery, this film reveals the incredible stories behind these super domes and the inventions that have enabled them to grow ever larger. Six ingenious leaps forward that enabled domes to evolve, from small, to complex and BIG!
Episode from the “Big Bigger Biggest” documentary series exploring the engineering breakthroughs that have enabled us to develop some of the largest structures in existence.

*_Dome looks so light that it might take off and fly_* ... The main arched trusses use triangulated space frame techniques. It is very strong but very light too. You can see through them to ceiling or sky overhead. The structure of the 2 movable dome sections are also amazingly light. Use of dome material in center is translucent and allow natural daylight to flood the playing field below. In fact, it is probably brighter inside when dome is closed because sunlight is very direct. Part of field or seating areas might be in the sun, while every where else is much darker. Closed panels allows diffused light to be scattered evenly over majority of field. I am a former Seattle resident... our Kingdome was largest reinforced concrete dome in world at the time. It outlived it's usefulness and was imploded by CDI. It remains largest concrete dome imploded and set a Guinness Record.

It all comes down to cost and design intent. With an unlimited time and budget and a goal of creating long lasting structures, we could easily create buildings to last thousands of years, if we wanted to. But our goals are different. There's a saying that its easy to engineer a bridge that's standing, but its much harder to engineer that's just barely standing.

Never mind the sporting events, how about just for living? The dome could be made out of transparent solar panels, which exist now, which also filter out the sun's damaging UV rays. The air that is pumped in could be filtered and cleaned first, likewise the water. And, like those summer themed domes that people go to for for a bit of summer vacation in the middle of winter, the temperature and climate could be controlled as best suits inhabitants. Also, it would be legal to dress as Krusty the Klown in the dome.

Lots of retractable roofs, I thought it odd they skipped from the failed attempt in the 70s to the Oita dome, like there'd been no other progress in the last 40+ years.

@wackowacko8931 2 жыл бұрын

Looks like a ladybug. Also, the hole in the roof of the Pantheon wasn't to save weight, it was to insure that the roof didn't collapse. If they had filled the hole in the roof in, the translation of the forces of the roof would come to a single point. No building material available of that time would have been able to withstand the translated forces at a single point, it would have just crumbled under the load causing the structure to fail. Instead, the builders used an arch (a complete arch would be a round hole in this instance) to spread the load to the surrounding material. Any structural engineer would be able to tell you that this is the reason for the hole.

@PatHaskell Жыл бұрын

A dome is an arch.

@kindlin Жыл бұрын

That's not really how a dome works. The central point will be under pressure from all directions, but it won't be some kind of singularity point where no material can resist the compressive forces, not when everything is all rigidly connected together as one giant mass. Doing a simple 2D free body diagram to get a feel for arc action, I got that the total horizontal stress at the apex would be on the order of the total load resisted and a factor of B/4H, where B is the total width of the arc and H is the total height. So, if you make a tall arc (H/B>4) the horizontal load at the top of the arc could be less than the load you're holding up. Going from 2D to 3D will only have a small affect, as you add more load, but you have more material. Typically, accounting for full 2-way action (like as you can do with 3D modeling), will get you lower stress than simple 2D assumptions.
