The detached double-shell dome comprises the outer shell, inner shell, drum, and usually stiffeners. This article closely examines a kind of stiffener, called ‘ khashkhāshī  ,’ within two main discussions. (I) By comparing various examples, eight cases representative of all the  khashkhāshī  types are selected and studied morphologically to introduce a grounded definition for  khashkhāshī  , encompassing twelve types assorted in three distinct structural forms. (II) By implementing a base model with variations of  khashkhāshī  , their different structural effects on the overall structural behaviour of the dome are analyzed using linear Finite-Element modeling subject to dead and seismic loads. Although beneficial in redirecting the force flow and decreasing the stress and span increase at the expense of added weight, khashkhāshī might cause localized inefficiencies in some cases. The obtained results are solely for a better understanding of the behaviour of the  khashkhāshī  , and shall not be directly used for studying individual cases.
