Abstract
Braced domes are efficient and appealing and are employed
frequently to cover large spans unobstructed of supports.
Data generation of braced domes has always been a difficult
task. The objective of this paper is to lay down the
foundations of an algebra that is suitable for representation
and processing of braced domes. The material is presented in
terms of a number of examples with a view to explore the
ideas and to examine their basic characteristics. It is
demonstrated that the formex approach helps to turn the
process of data generation of braced domes into a creative
and a simple activity.
