The above arch section is 4 feet in diameter, 12.625"
wide, 0.71" thick and weighs 6.8 lbs. This sample was created
as a 1/4 scale of a ~5m hybrid dome design one customer is evaluating.
The final product would be 2.1" thick, due to a thicker
sandwich core, but would have the
same skin thickness as this sample. |

The photo to the left shows the above arch being exposed
to 240 lbs of load. |

|
Although this customer needs the functionality of
a dome, this basic arch could be utilized for roll-offs, clam
shells and numerous other designs. |
|
|
There is nothing holding the lower ends of the arch
in place. It was simply placed on this oven's steel floor. |

The sample section can be held with three fingers. |

|
As with all of Dream's composites they are corrosion
resistant, chemical resistant and immune to moisture problems. |
|
|
It's low mass also means easier, faster and less expensive
installation on mountaintops. |

Because of it's extremely low CTE, it also exhibits
excellent stability, both as a structure (holding it's shape)
and in terms of fatigue (thermal cycling). |
