Abstract
The reticulated dome structure is a system composed of linear elements arranged in such a way that the forces are transferred in a three-dimensional manner. These dome structures require less amount of materials to be built when compared to continuous surface domes, thereby, reducing the embodied energy of the structure, i.e., the energy used in the manufacture and transportation of materials. However, selecting materials with high embodied...
