Oval concrete domes

Nearly a half of the paper makes a description of the design and construction of Wrocław's oval dome (23.7 m × 18.20 m × 4.70 m) of thickness 80 mm, which covers the rectangular nave of the church building. The RC dome is supported by two longitudinal and two transversal beams (200 mm × 2600 mm), which rest in the four corners of the building's masonry walls. The geometry and equations of the section curves as well as the results of a static analysis with the use of FEM as well as reinforcement drawings of the dome and its support beams were given. The particular phases of the dome construction illustrated by means of drawings were presented.
