Abstract - Reticulated dome structures are the preferred choice for large spanned structures. Theanalysisanddesignof these dome structures differ significantly from low-rise dome structures due to lateral forces caused by wind and earthquakes. The dome structure system features rigid connections between members and fixed hinge bearings. This study focuses on the seismic behavior of dome structure patterns, specifically Kiewitt-8, Kiewitt-Ribbed Hybrid(K8), and Dome with opening, to identifystructuralefficiency.These domes resist both gravity and lateral loads through axial action of the members. The span length of 60m with various h/s ration 0.20, 0.25,0.30, 0.35 are considered for the study and design purposes. Earthquake parameters are based on IS 1893-2016. The analysis of dome structure systems will be carried out using the Sap2000 analysis and design software. This research examines a set of structures using reticulated Kiewitt dome structures with three different patterns for varying rise-to-span ratios. The seismic behavior of these different reticulated Kiewitt dome models is compared based on vertical rare earthquake loads in terms of Response, time period, base reaction, P-deltaeffect,plastichingepatterns,and failure mechanisms of the dome structure.
Key Words: Reticulated dome, Kiewitt dome structure, rise to span ratio, p-delta analysis, plastic hinge.
1.INTRODUCTION
Spatial structures have been widely utilized in the constructionofvariouslargespanstructuresoverthelast few decades, including aircraft hangars, exhibition halls, stadia,airportterminals,gymnasia,bridgesystems,railway platform shelters, shopping malls, and atriums. These structures are known for their aesthetic appeal and engineering efficiency, enabling them to cover extensive spans.Theinstallationofareticulateddome'smainstructure canbecompletedrapidlyinjustafewhours,asopposedto themonthsoryearsrequiredforheavierstructures.Thereis no evidence to suggest that well-designed domes have experiencedanyissuesordamagefromwindortyphoons.A reticulateddomeisatypeofspatialstructurethatresembles a section of a sphere, constructed from a grid of triangles thatformasphericalsurface.Themoretrianglesused,the closerthedomeresemblesaperfectsphere.Thepatternofa Kiewitt dome consists of subdivided triangles along the circumferentialdirection,allmeetingatacommonvertexat

1.2 MODAL ANALYSIS
Theseismicanalysisofareticulateddomestructurebegins withthefirstmodalanalysis,whichisconductedintheform oftheFundamentalNaturalTime-Period.Thetimetakenfor each complete cycle of oscillation is known as the FundamentalNaturalPeriodofthesystem.Thistimeperiod is an inherent characteristic of the system, allowing it to vibratefreelywithoutanyexternalforce,andisdependent onthemassandstiffnessofthestructure.Thenaturaltime period is inversely proportional to the frequency of the structure,indicatingthatastructurewithahighernatural time period is less rigid compared to one with a lower naturaltimeperiod.Therelationshipbetweenfrequencyand timeperiodisexpressedbythefollowingequation.
T=2π/ω
Theseismicbehaviorofthereticulatedvariousmentioned patterns of K8 dome structure is influenced by the rise to span ratio increase, which results in a corresponding increaseinthetimeperiod.Conversely,astherisetospan ratio decreases, the time period decreases in value. The stiffnessofthedomestructureisaffectedbythetimeperiod reductioninthereticulatedK8Kiewit-RibbedHybriddome. When comparing the modal time period of a rise to span ratioof0.2to0.25,thereisadecreaseof10.83%.Similarly, comparing a ratio of 0.25 to 0.30 results in a decrease of 3.91%, and comparing a ratio of 0.20 to 0.40 shows a decreaseof29.42%inthedome'smodaltimeperiod.

3. CONCLUSIONS
The reticulated dome models demonstrate thatamongvariousgeometricfactorstaken intoaccount,onlythe"rise-to-spanratio" andthe"relativestiffnessofthesupports" haveasignificantimpact.
Thereticulateddomeofthedisplacementof less than 1/400 of rise of the structure is safe(IS1893part4).
InaccordancewithIS1893(part4),atall structure with a plan dimension greater than its height must be engineered to accommodate a vertical displacement of 1/400 of its height. Various designs of reticulateddomemodels withrisetospan ratios of 0.20 and 0.30 only meet the necessarycodalcriteria.
The seismic behavior of the reticulated various mentioned patterns of K8 dome structureis influencedby therise tospan ratio increase, which results in a correspondingincreaseinthetimeperiod. Conversely, as the rise to span ratio decreases, the time period decreases in value.
The stiffness of the dome structure is affectedbythetimeperiodreductioninthe reticulatedK8Kiewit-RibbedHybriddome.
Whencomparingthemodaltimeperiodof arisetospanratioof0.2to0.25,thereisa decreaseof10.83%.Similarly,comparinga ratioof0.25to0.30resultsinadecreaseof 3.91%, and comparing a ratio of 0.20 to 0.40 shows a decrease of 29.42% in the dome'smodaltimeperiod.
Anincreaseintherisetospanratioresults inanincreaseinbothEQandgravityload. The EQ and gravity load values for the reticulatedK8domeare66.784KN
Differences around 0.50-0.52% between these various pattern values of P-Delta analysis.
The rise in various reticulated dome structures increases the stiffness of the dome.
The rise to span ratio of the reticulated domestructureincreasesasthetimeperiod anddisplacementincrease.
The response modification factor and ductility factor have an impact on the reticulateddomestructure.
