Abstract


One of the 'Sercometal 1979' awards to outstanding metal constructions was accorded to the geodesic dome serving as the roof for the pre-homogenization yard of a cement plant built in Mariel, Cuba. This article Is a detailed description of the structure and of the factor leading to the selection of this solution, as well as of the various stages of the project: design, fabrication, supervision and assembly. Tests were made at actual scale on the nodes, key elements of the structure. The project was developed by Centunión-Española de Coordinación Técnica y Financiera, S.A. and Argynsa-Estructuras Metálicas of Madrid (Spain) for Desarrollo Industrial of Havana.
