Concrete Domes 3

[dheigher]

I have a book called "Concrete Dome Roofs" by C. B. Wilby. Does anyone else have this book? I am wondering if there have been any errata published for it.

Also, does anyone have any reccomendations for a similar book? I am not very happy with the information in this one or the way it is presented.

The monolithic dome institute may have some leads for you:

About 6 years ago I had the pleasure to work on a controversial project with Dr. Arnold Wilson. He is a leading authority on domes in general.

I am with you, have Wilby's Book and it is not what I expected. I do recommend "Design and Construction of Concrete Shell Roofs" by G.S. Ramaswamy, Robert E.Krieger Publishing Company. In case you do not find it, I did scan the entire book and have it in pdf format, and can e-mail it to you if you want. It covers both theory, formula explanations and design oriented worked examples. It has a chapter dedicated to Domes.
