Abstracts: In the recent years, there have been an increasing number of structures using steel domes as one of the most efficient shapes in the world. It covers the maximum volume with the minimum surface area. Maintaining larger volumes with no interrupting columns in the middle with an efficient shape would be more efficient and economic. Dome roofs are the lightest structure to cover circular shape. Dome can be used when the internal pressure is higher; do not have problems with mounting of an internal floating roof. Supplementary foundations are not necessary for dome roofs. In other words always when it is possible the dome roofs are recommended. In this project, the analysis of steel dome is examined by the use of computer software STAAD PRO. For the analysis different diameter of the steel tube member and height of steel dome. Prepare the quantity of steel required for the dome and finding the suitable size and member property of the dome for the safe and economic structure.
