USING GEODESIC DOMES OF WOOD AND THERMOPLASTICS FOR ROTATIONAL CAMPS IN THE ARCTIC AND NORTHERN TERRITORIES

Dmitriy Zhivotov, Valeriy Latuta

Abstract


Introduction: The use of modern construction materials and technologies makes it possible to take a different view of such long-span spatial structures as geodesic domes that seem quite familiar for architects and engineers. Methods: Based on studies of Russian and foreign researchers, the authors of the article suggest using the space between two geodesic domes for residential, administrative as well as laboratory and research facilities. Results: It is suggested to use this type of structures of wood and thermoplastics for rotational camps in the Arctic and Northern territories. Discussion: The authors conduct experimental studies to justify that it is possible to manufacture joint connections of various types of plastic.

Keywords


Housing construction, architecture, civil engineering, frozen sample testing.
