Funicular Shell Roof Ppt
Addressing both architects and engineers this dissertation by matthias rippmann presents a new framework for the form finding and design of fabrication geometry of discrete funicular structures in the early design phase.
Funicular shell roof ppt. The roofing system consists of doubly curved shells made with materials of good compressive strength such as waste stone pieces and brick tiles and supported on reinforced concrete edge beams. Folded plate roof 38. A series of these shells in variable geometric configurations. Tunnel vault and dome act in pure compression.
How it is built. Low carbon climate resilient features. Introduction lattice and portal frame buildings consist of a structural frame which supports slab roof and wall covering. A skylight can beintroduced in the roof.
Design principle a funicular shell is a 3 dimensional catenary on a rectilinear base. Shell structures advanced building construction 1. Any change of loading or support conditions changes the form of the funicular curve. In form of truss for greater rigidity reach spans up to 98 m.
Single funicular shell roof of the kanpur municipal building ramaswamy raman and zachariah 1962 is one of the largest single funicular shells ever put to use. Which is in rcc steel etc its for large covering for open spaces 5. Concrete shell structures often cast as a monolithic dome or stressed ribbon bridge or saddle roof. This can beachieved by leaving a hollow whilecasting using the inherent strength of aring in compression.
The term tensile should not be confused with tensegrity which is a structural form with. The funicular shell allows ampleflexibility in design 4. Funicular shell roof a funicular shell is a 3 dimensional catenary on a rectilinear base. Its an roof which has been moulded to an shape.
Funicular shell roof facilitates theinstallment of fixtures like ceiling fans light fixtures etc. Motivated by ongoing debates about digital architecture and funicular shell form finding it. A tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. The thin concrete shell structures are a lightweight construction composed of a relatively thin shell made of reinforced concrete usually without the use of internal supports giving an.
Have rise to span ratio 1 10 1 2 steel truss domes used for several stadiums reaching 204 m span cable stayed roof derived from bridge building steel. This frame serves purely as the structural support and provides protection against weather. Smaller size shallow square and triangular funicular shells of 1 to 1 5m size in plan have been in use as roofs and floors for many structures. The roofing system consists of doubly curved shells made with materials of good compressive strength such as waste stone pieces and brick tiles supported on reinforced concrete edge beams.
