[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1868747, member: 2886"] Were they civil, mechanical or engineering mechanics (the old T.A.M. dept) profs? If so, I'd have been concerned. If not, their opinions on structural engineering would probably have been only marginally more relevant than their opinions on the effect of Dutch mercantilism on English dissenters having taken refuge in Holland in the 17th century. The dome is made of reinforced concrete (see photo below of rebar in the roof) and sits on a concrete bowl anchored in the ground as shown below. It's a beautiful, elegant design. I'm unaware of any structure on earth that compares. Hmmm. Maybe a lack of imitation means that others know something we don't. ;) [ATTACH type="full" width="475px" alt="1677418146071.png"]23709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="457px" alt="1677418118548.png"]23708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="294px" alt="1677418438348.png"]23710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="644px" alt="1677418472989.png"]23711[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="612px" alt="1677418535892.png"]23712[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
