A Computer Program For The Analysis And Design Of Reinforced Concrete Domes

This thesis addresses a computer program for the analysis and design of shells of revolution, specifically reinforced concrete domes with edge rings. The study examines the method used to analyze and design such shells and integrates these methods in a programming language to create a simple and easily understandable tool for analysis and design of shells of revolution. A comparison of the outputs of the program developed with the results of finite element method is also made. The results associated with this thesis work minimizes the time required and the errors involved in the course of manual calculations for analysis and design of reinforced concrete shells of revolution. In addition, it makes the analysis and design process of shell structures simple so that designers will be initiated to design and recommend such kinds of structures for Clients.
