Modeling the roof deck and determining its effect on the stability of a glulam timber dome
A finite element modeling and geometrically nonlinear static analysis of the top portion of a glued-laminated timber dome is presented. The modeling assumptions and analysis procedures are applied to a dome model whose geometry is based on an existing glulam timber dome of 133 ft. span and 18 ft....
