Abstract
Cylindrical shell forms are used in water and gas retaining structures, circular silos, pipes, pressure vessels, and cylindrical vaulted shell roofs of various kinds. This chapter studies the membrane behavior of cylindrical shells. First, we derive the governing membrane equations. Then, we apply these equations to the analysis of various types of cylindrical shells, including vessels, pipes, and vaults. The results of the present chapter will also be used in more comprehensive analysis and design of cylindrical shells treated in future chapters. Some basic design considerations related to such shells will also be presented.
