Ultimate strength of RC cooling tower shells subjected to wind load
Abstract The failure mechanisms of RC cooling tower shells subjected to dead load and wind load are examined using the finite element method. In the numerical analysis, the displacement incremental scheme is adopted to analyse the load deflection behaviour of the cooling tower shell after initial cracking Then the failure mechanisms of the cooling tower shell are examined. The influences of the reinforcing ration of the cooling tower shells on their ultimate strength are also examined. Is is concluded that the paper clarifies the failure mechanisms of the cooling tower shells and concludes that the reinforcing ratio plays an important role in the ultimate strength of RC cooling tower shells after cracking.
