Geodesic Dome |
spherical surface structure having a circular plan. - consisting of skeletal struts and flat panels |
|
|
Strut |
provide outwards-facingsupport in their lengthwise direction,which can be used to keep two othercomponents separate |
|
|
Connections: Hubs or Bolts |
connect all of the struts together toform the structure |
|
|
Exterior cover or Tessellations |
thegeometrical tilted plane of the dome |
|
|
Bolts |
high-strength aluminum, or steel coated with zinc,epoxy, or industrial primer are commonly used forconnectors. Zinc-plated steel bolts secure the connectorsand paneling is nailed on. |
|
|
Hubs |
steel connector with different number of stars,depending on how many struts a point should beconnected |
