Reinforced Cement Concrete cylindrical Shell for Parking Sheds

Abstract

The present reinforced concrete shells as a relevant and valuable structural solution. Shell structure are constructed from one or more curved slabs or folded plates. These are basically three-dimensional structures which are spatial in nature. The designers always aim to achieve economy by minimizing costs within the constraints of functional and aesthetic requirements. They thus try to choose a more relevant material which are cheaper and stronger or try to evolve new forms that resist the loads more efficiently. Off all one of the most efficient structural forms are shells and they are a perfect example of achieving strength through form as opposed to strength through mass. As we are trying to design efficient structure for parking space, we choose to design a reinforced concrete cylindrical shell. These concrete cylindrical shell structures allow area to be wide and to be spanned with no interior columns giving a good interior
