No, the strongest shape under gravity condition is the catenary dome.
The strongest shape under pressure ( earth sheltered or water ) would be a sphere. Or an hemisphere. Which is still a way stronger than a geodesic.
The geodesic has potential link for failure in each connections.
It's might be easier to set up than a perfect hemisphere, but seriously, did you already see a geodesic dome in nature ?
You might want to check ferrocement / monolithic domes if strength it the first issue.

Is sonic stronger than tails?
sonic is stronger than tails.
Why is a square stronger than a triangle?
It is NOT!
How do you round 758.999?
It is rounded to 759 because the rule is when a # is greater than 5, round down and when a # is less than 5, round up.
Is it 10 mm 10.9 grade stronger than 10 mm 8.8 grade?
10.9's are "stronger" than 8.8's.
How do you round 67.37 to the nearest dollar?
If it is less than .50, round down. If it is more than .50, round up. .37 is less than .50, so 67 dollars is the answer.
How many equilateral triangles in a geodesic dome?
The answer varies depending on the exact type of geodesic dome you are using. A 2 frequency and 4 frequency geodesic domes use 20 equilateral triangles despite the two-frequency having many more faces than the 2 frequency where the 3 frequency geodesic dome (150 sided) uses none at all. The above calculations, however, are only common to a certain architectural model. Assuming the domes are built mathematically instead of according to architectural integrity, the number of equilateral triangles in a "pure" dome, a geodesic sphere, is exactly equal to the number of faces, by definition.
Is a cubical building built out of triangles stronger than a geodesic dome?
yes. every square or rectangle and be divided into two triangles by connecting a pair of opposite corners.
Does a geodesic structure have more or less surface area than?
Than what?
Where can you find instructions on how to shingle a geodesic dome home?
You may try looking on all of the sites on "Buckminster Fuller" or "bucky balls". Buckminster was the originator of the geodesic dome. There might be some valid information connected with his name. I've built a couple of geodesic domes and in both cases, had them roofed by a roofing contractor who specializes in geo-dome roofing. He travels throughout the US and Canada roofing new domes and replacing roofs on those that were poorly done by others. Putting roofing on a geodesic dome, while not terribly complicated, is a little different than roofing traditionally pitched roofs with the occasional hip or valley or ridge or pitch change. The pentagons of a dome are constructed of triangles, each meeting the adjoining triangle on a different plane, creating a network of hips. To roof these effectively requires attention to detail and knowing to lace each course of shingles on each triangle well onto it's neighbor. I, personally, would be reluctant to roof a geodesic dome as a DIY project, and I've done quite a bit of roofing over the years.
Which is better - a monolithic or a geodesic dome home?
A monolithic is better than a geodesic dome home. A monolithic dome home is more cost effective and energy efficient. It can also withstand disasters better.
What is lava domes?
A lava domes is a structure that forms when a volcano extrudes very viscous lava that builds into a dome-shaped pile rather than flow downhill.
What is the other 2 volcanoes other than the cone?
Lava Domes,CompositeShield
Who is stronger vector or sonic?
sonic is stronger than knuckles yes he is stronger than vector
Is it stronger than me or is it stronger than I?
The correct grammar is "stronger than I".When in doubt, finish the sentence. You would say, "He is stronger than I am." Therefore, you can say, "He is stronger than I", even though it may sound odd because we are not used to hearing the correct grammar.
Does a geodesic structure have more or less area than a box structure that covers the same amount of floor space?
Less area.
Does Venus have stronger gravity?
Stronger gravity than what? The gravity of Venus is stronger than that of the moon or of Mars, but weaker than that of Earth.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
