Detailing.

Shells and folded plates belong to the class of


stressed skin structures which, because of their
geometry and small exural rigidity of the skin, tend
to carry loads primarily by direct stresses acting on
their plane. Different types of reinforced concrete
shells and folded plate structures are in
use in present-day building practice for a variety of
applications and give roo ng of large column-free
areas. Cylindrical type shells are relatively common
although shells of double curvature except for
domes have been introduced lately into building
construction. However, their use is limited as they
demand an exceptionally high degree of
workmanship and costly formwork. Folded plate
structures are composed of rectangular plates/
slabs connected along the edges in such a way as
to develop special rigidity of parts. Their structural
behaviour consists of transverse slab action by
which the loads are carried to the joints, and
longitudinal plate action by which they are nally
transmitted to the transverses. Because of its great
depth and small thickness, each plate offers
considerable resistance to bending in its plane.
Folded plates are often competitive with shells for
covering large column-free areas. They usually
consume relatively more materials than shells, but
this disadvantage is often offset by the simpler
formwork required for their construction. The
added advantage of folded plate design is that its
analysis is simpler compared to that of shells. For
detailing reinforcement in shells and folded plates,
the provisions of ‘IS: 2210-1962 Criteria for the design
of reinforced concrete shell structures and folded
plates’ are normally followed. The maximum
spacing of reinforcement in any direction in the
body of the shell/plate shall be
limited to ve times the thickness of the shell and in
the area of unreinforced panels to 15 times the
square of the thickness. Longitudinal reinforcement
shall be provided at the junction of the shell and
the traverse to resist the longitudinal moment. To
ensure the monolithic connection between the
shell and the edge members, the shell
reinforcement shall be adequately anchored into
the edge members and traverses or vice-versa by
providing suitable dowel bars from the edge
members and traverses to lap with the shell
reinforcement. The thickness of shells shall not be
less than 50 mm if singly curved and 40 mm if
doubly curved. Shells are usually thickened to some
distance from their junction with edge members
and traverses. The thickening is usually of the order
of 30 per cent of the shell thickness.AutoCAD was
