Inflation Forming of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Domes
The feasibility of inflation forming steel fiber reinforced (FR) concrete shell structures suitable for shelters and fortification is shown to be viable construction method. The technique of construction is based on the experience gained building several 2.75 m (9 ft) dia domes of variable shell thickness. The technique developed is to be used for the construction of 8.5 m (28 ft) dia domes. The preliminary stress analysis for a 8.5 m (28 ft) dia dome of variable thickness using a finite element method showed that the steel FR concrete was not highly stressed for the loads, openings and boundary conditions investigated. The buckling analysis was not completed in time to be included in this report; however, preliminary values are presented. The inflation forming technique has the possibility of reducing the time of construction, man-hours of labor and level of skill needed to construct shelters and fortifications.
