Desert Domes is a great site to go. You will find a calculator that will do all the math for you as far as for the struts. Just put in the radius that you want your dome to be. The Tips area is also wonderful in that it will walk you through the possess of building one. Don't forget to check out the F&Q.
Another calculator would be at Geo-Dome with their 5 in one tool. Just put in your radius and you will find out what your floor space will be, surface area and so on.
Now I've been out of school for a very long long time so if you are like me here is a helper on how to convert inches to decimal since the measurements are in decimal.
Fraction Decimal Fraction Decimal
1/16 .0625 9/16 .5625
1/8 .125 5/8 .625
3/16 .1875 11/16 .6875
1/4 .25 3/4 .75
5/16 .3125 13/16 .8125
3/8 .375 7/8 .875
5/16 .3125 13/16 .8125
7/16 .4375 5/16 .9375
1/2 .50 1 1.00
My measuring tape measures in 1/16th but if yours is different all you have to do is divide the top number from the bottom number. Example 1/2
