Design Concept of Shell Design

• Shell or plate element subjected to membrane forces Nx,Ny,Nxy + flexural forces Mx,My,Mxy

• Resisted by resultant tensile forces of reinforcement + resultant compressive forces of concrete

Outer layers resist

bending moments
+ membrane forces

Transverse shear forces

Plate components

Inner layer resist

1. Shell Design as per Eurocode

Procedure of Shell Design

Define Sandwich model

• Use ‘ 0.2*h’ as default value.

Sandwich Thickness
• If check on “ Consider Iteration for optimal design”,
layer thickness will be calculated automatically.

Calculate Membrane Force

• The geometry of sandwich element has to be known to compute the membrane forces (Nxk, Nyk, Nxyk).
