🛕 Stupa Dome: Mound Weight, Ground Pressure and Hoop Tension (2D)

Cross-section of a hemispherical stupa showing how its weight reaches the ground and where a thin masonry dome shell would be squeezed or pulled apart. Set the dome radius, masonry weight, shell thickness, crown load, ground strength and tension limit, and see the pressure profile under the mound, the meridional and hoop stresses along the dome and where cracking would start. Mound weight, shell equilibrium and the hoop sign change are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
