One of the largest domes in the world, the Pantheon, is made of concrete. You saved a lot of money building this dome with concrete. But remember: concrete is very heavy. About halfway down the curve of the dome, the weight of the structure is pushing the sides outward, creating a stress called tension. Cracks are beginning to show.
How will you prevent your massive structure from collapsing?
