Theory of Structures - IV

1. The document provides information about a spherical dome over a circular room with a diameter of 28m and dome radius of 16m. It asks to calculate the meridional and hoop stresses at an interval of 100 degrees from the vertical axis, given a thickness of 100mm, live load of 7.5 kN/m^2, and concentrated load of 100kN at the crown. 2. It outlines three examination questions, asking to derive relationships for stresses and strains in isotropic materials using variational approaches and the theory of elasticity. 3. Reinforced concrete domes typically have reinforcement provided in both horizontal and vertical directions.
