Study Notes

Barrel Vaults

  • Used for high structural efficiency, providing long uncluttered spans.
  • Lightweight structures with vaulted and dome shapes, comparable to truss-framed roofing systems.
  • A type of thin-shell roof structure, commonly made from reinforced concrete.

Shell Structures

  • Typically constructed using precast panels.
  • Reinforced concrete shells can span between 50 to 150 meters.
  • Generally have little tensile capacity, primarily made from masonry or unreinforced concrete.
  • Average shell thickness of folded plates is about 100 mm, but it can vary.

Arch Structures

  • Primarily constructed from fabric materials or reinforced concrete for spans up to 60 meters.
  • Less efficient than other structures as they do not fully utilize compression forces.

Folded Plates

  • Average shell thickness is around 80 mm.
  • Reinforced concrete folded plates have a slope range of 50° to 75°.

Portal Frames

  • Comprise vertical columns, beams, and also columns that support floor slabs and roof cladding.
  • Span-to-depth ratio typically varies from 1:10 to 1:15.

Post and Beam Structures

  • Column cross-sectional area should not be less than 30 cm.
  • Beam depth in a shear wall can reach up to 2 meters.
