A colleague has a problem and would welcome any experienced advice. He has a large timber dome sports hall - - approx dia is 120 feet height 80 feet. not a true dome - - more the shape of the pointed end of an egg. Built from panels of plywood fixed to heavy wood sections around the edges- - like flanges - - which are then all bolted together. We believe this type is common in USA for storing minerals.
Problem is that after 10 yrs one side is developing a sizeable
and increasing flat area. Somehow it needs to be pushed back into shape and then stiffened so it cannot develop again.
Anyone out there with any experience ??
all advice greatly welcomed.
