CONCRETE SHELL ELEMENTS
Umesh Rajeshirke
Managing Director
Mr. Umesh Rajeshirke has completed his BE Civil form VJTI (Univ. of
Bombay) and M.S. from IIT, Madras. He has over 27 years of
experience in planning & designing of long span bridges, precast
segmental & cable stayed bridges. He has also involved in design of
number Nuclear Containments, tall chimneys, Natural Draught Cooling
Towers and maritime structures. Actively involved in various code
committees
Verification at ULS is to be
performed adopting the sandwich
model for shell elements
The core/middle layer is designed to carry the out of plane shear force.
2.
Find out whether the element is cracked or not, using Eqn. B-1-1 of
the code. If the element is un-cracked, the only verification required is
to check that minimum principal stress, s3 (i.e. maximum compressive
stress) does not exceed the design compressive strength, fcd.
3.
Basically, the membrane forces, nEdx, nEdy, nEdxy are divided between
the two layers and the bending moments, mEdx, mEdy, mEdxy are
converted into ( +- m/z ) forces in top and bottom layers.
In the direction of principal shear the shell element behaves like a beam and the
appropriate design rules should therefore be applied. In particular clause 6.2.2 of
the code should be applied for members not requiring shear reinforcement and
clause 6.2.3 should be applied for members requiring shear reinforcement. In
expression 6.2a, 1 should be taken as
When shear reinforcement is necessary, the longitudinal force resulting from the
truss model vEdo cotq gives rise to the following membrane forces in x and y
directions and shall be added to the forces obtained in outer layers:
