Timber forms used in construction of 140 ft diam ellipsoidal dome containing 1500 cu yd of concrete were supported on 44 trusses with two conditions of support; temporary roof was without center support and spanning across perimeter wall; adjustable pipe jacks maintained construction tolerance of plus or minus 1/2 in. from theoretical; analysis of rotational stability of compression ring; removal of forms and trusses was performed through opening in dome, for subsequent reuse.
