Classification of structures (Flugge W)

What is a Shell?

Surface enclosed by two closely spaced curved lines (Wilhelm

Flugge).

Application of shells

Why HYPAR?
Straight line edges

Advantages of HYPAR

Appearance
Economy
Design simplicity
Construction ease
Promising future
Wide range of structural units

Thermal comfort
Architectural aspects
Low cost masonry
Lean concrete for water proofing
Cost reduction

Lack of knowledge on behavior in bending.

No much research carried out for HYPAR
affordable roofs.
Wide range of application
Understand the behavior of layered shells.
Thermal comfort not taken into
consideration.
Applications in affordable roofing system.

To find the interfacial stresses

Load carrying capacity of layered HYPAR
Suitability as roofing system

Model study using Levy method

Validation using ANSYS
FEM model study
Levys Method and ANSYS 12 will be used
Model for known span
Analysis for loads under normal condition
All kinds of stresses are found out

Finding delaminating stresses

Necessity of shear connectors
To prove advantages of HYPAR over
conventional slabs.
Develop it as a affordable roofing system for
commercial buildings.

ANSYS results have been validated

Tables for roots of levy method have been
found out which reduces time.
To solve the levy equations differential
quadrature method is best one.
Shell-181 element is best type of element to
analyze membrane and bending behavior of
shells.
