ABSTRACT:
This disclosure describes an improved concept for using flat sheathing materials to construct the curved roof of a domical structure with the underlying dome frame and the shape of the roof panels designed to permit originally flat sheathing material to be curved in different directions. Thus, a single flat sheet of sheathing material may contain several different curved surfaces, improving the appearance and the shell effect of the roof and increasing the strength and economic efficiency of the domical structure.
