We did some beam analysis to determine critical nodal loads that the dome would be submitted when assembled. As it was such a large structure, the own structure would need to be eventual scafolding supporting structures for the top nodes. The loads were multiplied with a factor of safety of 4 and the result was that the structure really didnt care about those loads. The overal safety factor was over 41. <img src="img/dome4.png" alt="scheme" width = "800px">
