Abstract
The sensitivity of kagome gridshells to geometrical imperfections is discussed. The linearised buckling load of kagome gridshells is then compared to the one of quadrilateral gridshells. The most relevant design variables are considered in the parametric study. Two building typologies are studied for symmetrical and non-symmetrical load cases: dome and barrel vault. It reveals that the kagome gridshell outperforms quadrilateral gridshell for a very similar construction cost.
