Description
A report on the practical aspects of shell design including recommendations and a commentary for designers of thin concrete shells. General guidance based on current practice is given on analysis, proportioning, reinforcing, and construction. A selected bibliography on analytical methods featuring design tables and aids is included.
Keywords: aggregate size; buckling; construction; design: double-curvature shell; edge beam; folded plate; formwork; model; prestressing; reinforcement; shell; single-curvature shell; splice; stiffening member; supporting member; thickness; thin shell.
