FORMATIONS OF DISCRETE FRAMEWORKS OF DOME CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

In article examples of modeling of discrete frameworks of dome constructions are described. Possibilities of use of one of methods of discrete geometrical modeling, namely generalized S.N. Kovalev’s staticgeometrical method are shown. Questions of parametrical compliance of the set design task and basic data are considered. The parametrical analysis of basic data in the purposes of formation of a discrete framework of a dome construction taking into account observance of the geometrical and esthetic requirements imposed to the modeled surface is carried out. The way that the image conceived by the designer can be embodied when modeling new a surface is described. The example of use of constructive distribution of external loading between knots of discrete network is shown. It allows, in the course of architectural design of domes of cult constructions, will include window openings in a dome surface, having kept at the same time a traditional image of a construction. The way described in article allows to expand creative opportunities of designers and architects in the course of their professional activity. Considerably expands the list of esthetic, constructive and physical properties which can be considered when modeling curvilinear surfaces.
