Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the most appropriate support conditions for a reinforced concrete shell panel test specimen which will adequately reproduce internal forces and moments in a prototype cylindrical shell. The goal in the experiment is to investigate a punching shear failure in the vicinity of a concentrated load. For the analysis, four computer programs were employed, SHORE-III, two versions of RONALD, and ANSYS. The SHORE-III and RONALD (rotational) analyses considered a complete cantilevered cylinder, while the ANSYS (general) model treated a cylindrical panel free along the curved edges and constrained in various ways along the longitudinal edges. Comprehensive comparative results are provided for the linear elastic loading case, which indicate the magnitude and attenuation of concentrated loading effects on cylindrical shells and panels. Also, some selected results for the panel obtained from a high performance graphic package PATRAN/ANSYS are given.
