1. Shell Design as per Eurocode
Design Concept of Shell Design
• Shell or plate element subjected to membrane forces Nx,Ny,Nxy + flexural forces Mx,My,Mxy
• Resisted by resultant tensile forces of reinforcement + resultant compressive forces of concrete
Outer layers resist
bending moments
+ membrane forces
Transverse shear forces
Plate components
Inner layer resist
the transverse shear
Slab components

1. Shell Design as per Eurocode
Procedure of Shell Design
Define Sandwich model
• Use ‘ 0.2*h’ as default value.
Sandwich Thickness
• If check on “ Consider Iteration for optimal design”,
layer thickness will be calculated automatically.
Calculate Membrane Force
• The geometry of sandwich element has to be known to compute the membrane forces (Nxk, Nyk, Nxyk).
