Funded Activity Summary

Nonlinear Analysis And Behaviour Of Thin Concrete Axisymmeric Shells. This project concerns the highly complex behaviour of thin concrete shells and domes. These structures were in vogue in Australia in the 1970's because their construction is highly efficient, but their use ceased following several collapses. The reason was an inability at the time to predict their behaviour, which requires challenging theoretical methodologies and computer software. The project will develop sophisticated mathematical tools, that include concrete shrinkage, creep, cracking and thermal effects, to enable the design of safe concrete shells and domes, and it is underpinned by and builds on support awarded recently by the ARC to the investigators.
