How long is long-span for buildings Loads acting onto a structural systems
Structure with span larger than 20m can be 1. Dead load
regarded as long span structure for this 2. Live load
span is usually unable to be achieved by 3. Wind load
ordinary RC structure. 4. Stress created by temperature differences
5. Stress created by other form of disruption
Loads acting onto a structural systems including ground movement, vibration,
1. Dead load deformation or earthquake
2. Live load
Common Structural Forms
3. Wind load
4. Stress created by temperature differences
for Long Span Building Structures
1. Insitu RC, tensioned
5. Stress created by other form of disruption
2. Precast concrete, tensioned
including ground movement, vibration,
deformation or earthquake 3. Structural steel – erected on spot
4. Structural steel – prefabricated and
installed on spot
5. Portal frame – insitu RC
6. Portal frame – precast
7. Portal frame – prefabricated steel
Long span structures create unobstructed, column-free spaces greater than 30 meters (100 feet) for a variety of functions.
Long span roof are tensile, shell, folded plate portal frames
1.Shell roof
2.vaults folded plate,
3.geodesic domes,
4.space frame,
5.tensile structures,
6.pneumatic structures etc
Introduction
Shell structure, In building construction, a thin, curved plate structure shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive,
tensile, and shear stresses that act in the plane of the surface. ...
Shell construction began in the 1920s; the shell emerged as a major long-span concrete structure after World War II.
Definition
Shell structure, In building construction, a thin, curved plate structure shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive,
tensile, and shear stresses that act in the plane of the surface. They are usually constructed of concrete reinforced with steel
mesh
Or
The most obvious definition of a shell might be through its geometry. ... An arch is defined by a curved line and a plate by a
plane. A shell is a structure defined by a curved surface. It is thin in the direction perpendicular to the surface, but there is no
absolute rule as to how thin it has to be
A SHELL STRUCTURE IS A THIN CURVED MEMBRANE OR SLAB USUALLY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE THAT FUNCTIONS BOTH
AS STRUCTURE AND COVERING.
THE TERM “SHELL” IS USED TO DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURES WHICH POSSESS STRENGHT AND RIGIDITY DUE TO ITS THIN,
NATURAL AND CURVED FORM SUCH AS SHELL OF EGG, A NUT, HUMAN SKULL, AND SHELL OF TORTISE.
There are two type of shell structure
SINGLE OR DOUBLE CURVATURE SHELLS
Single curvature shell: are curved on one linear axis and are a part of a cylinder or cone in the form of barrel vaults and
conoid shells.
Developable Surface Is A Surface That Can Be Unrolled Onto A Flat Plane Without Tearing Or Stretching It.
It Is Formed By Bending A Flat Plane, The Most Typical Shape Of A Developable Shell Is A Barrel, And A Barrel Shell Is Curved
Only In One Direction.
Anticlastic Shells : Are Doubly Curved But Each Of The Two Curves Have The Opposite
Direction To The Other. E.G. Saddle Points.
Conoids, Hyperbolic Paraboloid And Hyperboloids Are All Considered To The Anticlastic
Shell Because They Are Saddled Shape With Different Curvature In Each Direction And
Straight Lines Can Be Drawn Of The Surface.
Conoids: Formed By Moving A One End Of A Straight Line Along A Curved Path And The
Other Along A Straight Path.
