Author’s own experimental and theoretical researches on buckling of shells of revolution are summarized with special emphasis on the conceptual approach behind them. Effect of the biaxial stress states is depicted in form of interaction diagrams. Design formulas based on these concepts and computations carried out for reinforced concrete hyperboloidal cooling tower shells allow the erection of very large and thin cooling towers which meanwhile have reached the 200m limit in height.

Concrete shells – towards efficient structures: construction of an ellipsoidal concrete shell in Switzerland

Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers and offshore platforms. Taking advantage of…

Wind‐Buckling Approach for RC Cooling Towers

The equations of the bending and stability theories for the orthotropic shell are solved using the finite element method (FEM). A biaxial material law for concrete and a nearly bilinear stress‐strain…

Buckling Stresses of Stiffened Hyperboloidal Shells

Three hyperboloidal shell models made of epoxy resin (araldite) having nearly perfect geometry and constant wall thickness were tested first without stiffeners, afterwards with five, nine and 19…

Buckling of Stiffened Hyperboloidal Cooling Towers

With increasing dimensions of the cooling towers built of reinforced concrete, the buckling behavior becomes crucial in the proportioning of the shell. Ring stiffeners prove to be most effective in…
