STRUCTURAL CONCRETE BUILDING CODE/COMMENTARY CHAPTER 19 ?SHELLS AND FOLDED PLATE MEMBERS 19.1 ?Scope and definitions R19.1 ?Scope and definitions The Code and Commentary provide information on the design, analysis, and construction of concrete thin shells and folded plates. The process began in 1964 with the Publication of a practice and commentary by ACI Committee 334,19.1 and continued with the inclusion of Chapter 19 in the 1971 Code. The 1982 revision of ACI 334.1R reflected additional experience in design, analysis, and construction and was influenced by the publication of the 揜ecommendations for Reinforced Concrete Shells and Folded Plates? of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) in 1979.19.2 Since Chapter 19 applies to concrete thin shells and folded plates of all shapes, extensive discussion of their design, analysis, and construction in the Commentary is not possible. Additional information can be obtained from the references. Performance of shells and folded plates requires attention to detail.19.3 19.1.1 ?Provisions of Chapter 19 shall apply to thin shell and folded plate concrete structures, including ribs and edge members. R19.1.1 ? Discussion of the application of thin shells in structures such as cooling towers and circular prestressed concrete tanks may be found in the reports of ACI Committee 33419.4 and ACI Committee 373.19.5 19.1.2 ? All provisions of this Code not specifically excluded, and not in conflict with provisions of Chapter 19, shall apply to thin-shell structures. 19.1.3 ? Thin shells ? Three-dimensional spatial structures made up of one or more curved slabs or folded plates whose thicknesses are small compared to their other dimensions. Thin shells are characterized by their three-dimensional load-carrying behavior, which is determined by the
