Abstract

Non-conventional structures such as funicular shells, pneumatic structures and tensile structures are being constructed to cover large areas because of their light weight and high strength in resisting loads. Funicular shells are subjected to biaxial state of compressive stresses and prone to buckling, while tensile structures are subjected to biaxial state of tensile stresses and prone to rippling.

Theoretical formulation for shallow and deep funicular shells as well as tensile structures is discussed. Finite element model for the shallow funicular shells and tensile structures is formulated. Necessary computer program in Fortran is developed. The shapes for funicular shells for individual footings and roofs on various plan areas under concentrated and/or uniformly distributed load are obtained. Shapes are generated for shells and tensile structures through computer graphics.
