	When under load, a dome develops compressive stresses along its meridians; these can be thought of as an infinite number of arches connecting opposite points on the ground circumference. The dome will also develop compressive or tensile stresses around its hoops (lines of ‘latitude’).

	Compressive shortening is proportional to the load per unit area (of a column) and is typical of compression, just as lengthening is typical of tension. In addition to the compressive shortening which takes place along the longitudinal axis (usually the centre line), there is also lengthening that occurs at right angles to the longitudinal axis. In other words, the column gets shorter and fatter.
