A Study of Hyperbolic-Paraboloidal Concrete Shell Structures
This paper presents a report on the theoretical, experimental and constructional problems related to a Hyperbolic-Paraboloid (H-P) shell of an inverted umbrella type, supported on a single column. The geometry of an H-P shell model of 1 metre by 1 metre and 3cm thick was chosen for study in this work. The shell was designed and analyzed by the finite element method. Electrical resistance strain gauges were mounted both inside and outside at several locations on the surface of the shell. The structure was loaded within the elastic limit.
The experimental values of membrane stresses are calculated and compared with theoretical values. These results are in close agreement at most locations, and the discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical results is less at points located at some distance away from the support and the edges of the shell. Following the non-destructive test, the model was loaded to failure.
Based on the information gained by this study, a larger shell structure was successfully constructed.
