In the present paper, the effect of imperfection on the elastic buckling load and mode shapes of externally-loaded single layer reticulated domes is investigated. The types of buckling concerned here are the general buckling, the local (dimple) buckling and the buckling of a member. As to the geometric parameter of a dome, the slenderness factor S is adopted which represents the openness and slenderness of the dome. The maximum value of the imperfection is assumed to be the normal random variable. The buckling loads are computed by the linear and the nonlinear buckling analysis using the finite element method. The statistical values are calculated by the three-points estimates method. The main points of interest are the influence of the shape and the extent of an imperfection on the buckling load.

The primary objective of the paper is to investigate the post buckled behaviour of the single-layered Kite geometry dome developed using a novel crystallographic parameterisation principle. Both triangulated and non-triangulated domes are evolved based on the crystallographic parameterisation principles. It brings in a unique nomenclature for identifying different tessellations in reticulated single-layer dome configurations. This nomenclature brings in a physical meaning to dome tessellations instead of being called by the inventors such as Schwedler dome etc. In this paper, the effect of surface pattern on the load capacity of dome configuration is demonstrated with the comparison of domes having different surface patterns. The comparison of post-buckling behaviour of two different single-layer dome configurations - Kiewitt dome and Kite dome is presented. Despite having rigid nodal joints, the load capacity of the dome is significantly reduced when subjected to unsymmetrical and collateral loads due to the localised effect of these loads and the increased chance of snap-through compared to symmetrical uniform loading acting all over the structure. The Kite geometry have higher performance under uniform gravity loading with a low rise to span ratio.

As the study of the dynamic response of single-layer reticulated domes under impact, Numerical models for single-layer Kiewitt-6 reticulated domes with sub steel cube column were established by the ANSYS/ LS-DYNA program and a dynamic analysis were carried out. Four failure modes for the reticulated domes were put forward according as the dynamic response and plastic deformation. The parametric analyses on the dynamic response of single-layer reticulated domes with sub steel cube column under the impact loading are carried out, by changing the impact velocity, mass of impact object, size of impact object and impact location.The effects of these parameters on the response mode of the structures are investigated, and the distribution regularity of the response modes of the structures with different parameters is explained.
