Seismic Analysis of Flat Shell Structures

The document outlines the specifications for a flat surface shell structure made of reinforced concrete, measuring 20 m × 20 m, with fully pinned boundary conditions. It includes details on seismic load calculations based on Indian standards, live load, mesh density, and variations in shell geometry and thickness. The document also lists different shell thicknesses and their corresponding loads to assess sensitivity to thickness changes.

• Shell Type: Flat Surface

• Dimensions: 20 m × 20 m
• Boundary Condition: Fully pinned at all four edges
• Material: Reinforced Concrete
• Load Cases: Self-weight + Seismic (Indian standard 8)
The seismic load is calculated using the Indian standard explained in chapter three
Seismic load Vb = Ah x W =0.0625xW , the seismic load here is going to vary according
to the different shell geometries because seismic load calculation depends on mass.
• Mesh Density: 70cm×70cm quad mesh
• Live Load: 1.5 kN/m
• Geometry and Curvature Variation
