Analysis and Design of Monolithic Domes for Low Cost Housing in India

This project includes the analysis and design of a Monolithic Concrete Dome for low-cost housing and comparing its cost and energy efficiency with a conventional building. The project emphasizes the need for low-cost housing in India and provides the best solution in the form of monolithic concrete domes that not only render cost efficiency but also have proved to be disaster-resistant over the years. Monolithic Concrete Dome structures are comparatively more stable than normal conventional buildings. In the twenty-first century, the population of the world is increasing at a very fast rate. So it is essential to design urban living spaces in accordance with the needs of modern times. The primary objective of this project is to first prepare a plan for the MCD and then study the need for low-cost housing in India where a large percentage of the population is still lingering in poverty. Furthermore, the analysis and design of the proposed plan are to be carried out. Keeping the necessity of the project in mind, the cost estimation of the structure and its comparison with a similar-sized conventional building is carried out.
