Contemporary domes structures: case studies from Kazakhstan

Abstract

This thesis project is designed to undertake a comparative analysis and evaluation of large dome constructions in Central Asia, comparing with their European counterparts. The study aims to assess the efficiency of constructing large domes by examining structural challenges, behavioural characteristics, and detailed interpretations through top-view, cross-sectional, and detailed interpretations. Going into these aspects, this contemporary research aims to establish a foundational understanding for the design, construction, and maintenance of large domes. Furthermore, it is expected that this study will serve as a valuable resource for future researchers in similar projects, providing guidance for their implementation and development.
