Tension Rods in the Silicone Seam
When the structural behavior of the transparent socket was analyzed by finite element analysis of the entire structure, it had been concluded the system was unstable. Therefore, the addition of tension rods throughout completed the construction.
A network of tension rods connects all of the sockets and provides a 100% tension-compression transfer in every direction throughout the whole dome. The network is optimized to fit within the silicone joints and disappear after the sealant is applied.
