What is a dome?

A dome is a generally spherical, ovoid, or hemispherical shape, found in nature and also used in architecture. The basic characteristic is a three-dimensionally curved exterior, which may have a hollow interior. Examples of domes include various covered sports stadiums, the rotunda of the US Capitol building, St. Peter's Basilica, and the geodesic dome at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. Natural domes are created underground by the dissolving of salt and other compounds, and in rock formations such as Half Dome in Yosemite National Forest.


How was the dome built in rome?

The Romans built domes in concrete. The greatest example is the dome of the pantheon, a temple which has been converted into a church. It is still the larges unreinforced concrete dome in the world. The dome was built on top of a rotunda (round chamber) in concrete and was supported by a sophisticated system of relieving arches. Its downward thrust rests on eight vaults in the drum wall (which is 6.4 metres 21 ft. thick) which are supported by eight piers. The structure had a symmetrical order. The height from the floor to the oculus is the same as the diameter of the inner circle of the rotunda, 43.3 metres (142 ft.). The height of both the wall of the rotunda and the dome are the same of the radius of the rotunda (half its dimension). Thus, the structure could contain a sphere 43.3 metre in diameter and could fit into a cube with 43.33x43.33 m sides. Despite its large size (43.43x2.67m) the dome weight is only 5 metric tons. This was achieved with a number of weight-saving strategies. Its thickness of 6.4 metres (21 ft.) at the base narrows to 1.2 metres (3.9 ft.) around the oculus. Successively less dense (and thus lighter) aggregates were used as the dome went upwards. To make concrete, the Romans mixed a volcanic rock called pozzolana with lime and added rubble aggregate to make it solid. Tuff and/or travertine stone was used for the lower layers, bricks for the middle ones and pumice and/or pottery shreds for the higher ones. If the same concrete had been used throughout, the downwards stress would have been 80% higher. Having the empty space of the oculus instead of an apex also reduced weight. This could be achieved only with Roman concrete. Modern concrete is fluid. Roman concrete was less fluid and had to be layered by hand. This allowed the use of different aggregates. The interior of the dome has five rings of 28 evenly spaced coffers (sunken panels). This is a decorative technique and this specific kind of layout is difficult to achieve. In the case of the dome, it also reduces weight because of the empty spaces in the squares. The arrangement of the coffers forms a honeycomb structure, which has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Thus, despite being hollow, it provides structural strength. The weight of the dome around the oculus (which is 9.1 metre, 30 ft., in diameter) is carried by as ring arches which form it.
