One of the main goals of a good and effective structural design is
to decrease, as far as possible, the self-weight of structures,
because they must carry the service load. This is especially
important for reinforced concrete (RC) structures, as the
self-weight of the material is substantial. For RC structures it is
furthermore important that the whole structure or most of the
structural elements are under compression with small
eccentricities. Continuous spatial concrete structures satisfy the
above-mentioned requirements. It is shown in this book that a span
of a spatial structure is practically independent of its thickness
and is a function of its geometry. It is also important to define
which structure can be called a spatial one. Such a definition is
given in the book and based on this definition, five types of
spatial concrete structures were selected: translation shells with
positive Gaussian curvature, long convex cylindrical shells,
hyperbolic paraboloid shells, domes, and long folders. To
demonstrate the complex research, results of experimental,
analytical, and numerical evaluation of a real RC dome are
presented and discussed. The book is suitable for structural
engineers, students, researchers and faculty members at
universities.
