3.1 General
CHAPTER
FUNICULAR
I I I
SHELLS
Funicular shells are a class of doubly curved
shells, the shape of which satisfies the desired state of
stress in its body for the given loading and boundary
conditions. The state of stress desired in an unreinforced
concrete thin shell will be pure compression unaccompanied
by shear and bending stresses. In funicular shells, the
shape of the shell is such that under a particular loading
condition, the shell is sUbjected to pure compression
unaccompanied by bending and shear stresses. Under other
conditions of loading, bending moments would develop and the
shell will no longer behave purely as a funicular element.
Analytically, it is possible to compute the funicular
surface of any ground plan for the given loading conditions.
The funicular shell is constructed as per the configuration
obtained from the analysis. By using simple techniques like
the use of a sagging fabric, funicular shells can be cast to
sat i s f Y s imp 1e loa din 9 and baundaryeo ndi t ion s (Ram aswamy
and Chetty, 1960).
Funicular shells are not limited by plan, shape or
size. It can be triangular, square, rectangular, circular
or elliptic of required dimensions. Models can be cast to
scale and its ordinates measured to be used for casting the
prototype. The shells can be cast either using the formula
for the ordinates of the shell from computations or by using
the simple sagging fabric technique developed by the

Structural Engineering Research Centre, Roorkee, India. For
many structures, funicular shells of different sizes and
shapes have been tried as roof element and many publications
on their use have been brought out. An important case was
that of a heavy duty platform built of precast funicular
shells for unloading cargo from the ships for the use of
Madras Port. A single funicular shell roof over an oval
ground plan was built as roofing for the Municipal
Corporation Conference Hall at Kanpur, India. Other notable
funicular shells designed by Structural Engineering Research
Centre were the roof for their testing laboratory at
Madras, brick shell roofs at the National Institute of
Design, Ahmedabad, the concrete shell roof of the Cathedral
at Lucknow, the roofs for the schools at Roorkee and
Chaibassa, the roofs for 600 units of houses for Bharat
Heavy Electricals, Thiruchirappalli, and the roofs for the
tenements of Tamil nadu Slum Clearance Board and the housing
project of Andhra Pradesh Police Housing Corporation. Some
work has been done in the field of funicular shells in the
United States of America at the U.S. Naval Civil Engineering
Laboratory, Port Hueneme, California. Allgood, Rail and
Chiu (1967) suggested that the sagging membrane technique
appeared to be a simple and satisfactory way of fabricating
shallow shells and that shallow compressive membranes
appeared to be suitable for floor systems in ordinary
buildings, bridges, docks and similar structures after
conducting tests on model shells of 48 x 48 cm and prototype
shells of 2.4m x 2.4m size. Taylor bLnd Allgood (1968)

reported the test results on funicular shells for various
thickness-to-halfspan ratios and rise-to-halfspan ratios on
model shells and prototype shells of the same size as in the
previous study. It was reported that the most probable mode
of failure of funicular shells of the type tested is
transitional buckling and as the rise and thickness are
increased, failure modes other than buckling become more
likely. Another finding of their study was that shallow
funicular shells required a relatively small amount of
reinforcement and have a low weight per unit area as
compared to flat floor slabs. Odello and Allgood (1970)
described the details of testing a funicular shell of 12.2m
x 9.15m size and 0.6 m rise. From the test results, it was
observed that shallow concrete funicular shells were capable
of carrying large uniform or concentrated load over
extensive spans and that the linear analysis provides
reasonable estimates of their behaviour only at low loads.
Odello and Allgood (1971) reported the results of a study on
the economy of shallow funicular shells over other types of
roofs. It is stated that funicular shells cost less than
comparable roofs for 15m to 25m span and floors of 15m to.
gOm span.
3.2 Oi fferences in Performance of Shell s as Roof and as
Foundation
The loads on a shell roof is mostly due to its
self weight only, whereas the shell foundation will be
sUbjected to the soil reaction due to all the structural
loads transmitted to it, thereby necessitating thicker
16
![Page 4: CHAPTER I I I - Shodhgangashodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/72775/9/09_chapter 3.pdf · Unlike in the case of roof shells, buckling is ... Shells of all shapes and types](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021802/5b8722b77f8b9a8f318dec5d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
sections and depths for foundation elements compared to the
ones used as roof.
Unlike in the case of roof shells, buckling is
less likely in foundation shells, since the latter rests
directly on the soil and carries the backfill on top. In
foundation shells, the weight is directly transmitted to the
soil and therefore no significant stresses are induced in
the shells due to self weight.
Shell roofs require of scaffolding and formwork
which are costly and require skilled labour. When shells are
used as foundation elements, the difficulties in this regard
are significantly reduced. The shells can be cast over a
curved surface formed by suitably excavating the soil or on
a mound of earth formed to the desired shell shape.
The actual pressure distribution below a shell
foundation is complex due to shell-soil interaction, whereas
the distribution and the magnitude of loading on a roof
shell is predetermined.
Shells of all shapes and types adopted for roof
are not suitable for foundations because of various
limitations. Boloski (1959) mentioned that the downward
convex shells are also expedient from the point of view of
soil mechanics because of their favourable influence on the
distribution of soil stresses. He recommended use of shells
formed like elliptic paraboloid instead of mat foundations.
Tetior (1966) stressed that the shells, used in foundations
17

and supported on foundation soil by their whole surface,
take up distri~uted loads from the soil very efficiently in
comparison to planar elements.
3.3 Funicular Shell as a Foundation Element
Funicular shells of various lateral dimensions,
ri se and thi ckness, both rei forced and unrei nforced, have
been used as roof and floor elements. Single funicular
shell roof of the Kanpur Municipal Building (Ramaswamy,
Raman and Zachariah, 1962) is one of the largest single
funicular shells ever put to use. Smaller size, shallow
square and triangular funicular shells of 1 to 1.5m size in
plan have been in use as roofs and floors for many
structures. When these are used, suitable supporting beams
will have to be provided so that the shells with the
supporting beams form the roof or the floor. Such shells
usually do not have any reinforcement in the body and the
edge beams are of small dimensions with nominal
reinforcement of one or two 6 mm diameter mild steel bars
only. The thickness of the shells varies between 1.5cm to
3cm. It is seen that for shallow funicular shells, there is
considerabl~ savings in material and consequent reduction in
cost of roof or floor in comparison to conventional
reinforced cement concrete slabs. It is, therefore, logical
to use funicular shells instead of conventional reinforced
cement con~rete mat foundations so that the foundation costs
can be brought down and material saved. Much work on these
lines have not been taken up so far and there is complete
lack of literature on this topic. The difference in the

foundations are adopted to distribute the superimposed
loads on 1arge areas on soi 1s of poor beari ng capac i ty.
They have to be rigid enough to reduce differential
settlements due to the loading of large areas. The precast
funicular shells when assembled suitably with proper
interconnecting beams can form a foundation unit of
sufficient rigidity economically. compared to a reinforced
cement concrete mat. As the convex surface of the shell is
in contact with the soil. the shell is fully supported and
chances of buckling of the shell are remote. As stated
earlier. the convex contact surface tends to distribute the
superimposed loads on a wider area. thus reducing the
intensity of soil pressure. Studies by Szechy (l965) has
shown tha the influence of shape of the contact surface is
the biggest in the case of shallow foundations and there
will be no effect practically at depths greater than twice
the widt.h of the strip foundation. Funicular shells can be
made to form units of a centrally loaded footing with.
suitable connecting beams for columns. Possibilities exist
for the replacement of conventional reinforced cement
concrete footings by multiple funicular shell footing with
savings in material cost. Detailed studies in this regard
are also warranted before they can be adopted in the field.

The rigidity of the unit can be suitably adjusted by
properly designing the connecting beams of the unit.
A strip foundation can also be composed of the
funicular shells with necessary connecting elements in the
form of reinforced concrete beams. The dimensions of the
shells may be adjusted such that the width of the unit can
be made up of two shells with the connecting element.
The performance of individual shells and the
factors that influence their behaviour as elements in rafts,
footings' and strip foundations requires detailed study.
Bearing in mind the potentialities of the funicular shell as
a foundation, studies on the subject commenced in the
College of Engineering, Trivandrum (Thomas, 1970) with which
the author was also closely associated. To bring out the
differences in the behaviour of the funicular shell as a
foundation and roof element, a series of laboratory and
fi el d tests were conducted on funi cul ar shell s of 60cm x
60cm size. A diagrammatic sketch of a typical shell is
sho'l,n in Fig.3.!. The dimensions of the edge beams of the
shell sand thei r rei nforcements and the concrete mi x used
for casting the shells were varied to study their effect on
the perform~nce of the shells. The details of shells tested
are given in Table 3.1.
The shells .."ere cast using the sagging fabric
technique with coarse aggregate passing 6mm sieve. The edge
beams were provided with 2 numbers of mild steel bars as
given in Table 3.1. The testing of the shells was done

after curing them for 28 days. Three numbers of cubes of
7.06cm size were cast from each mix of the concrete prepared
for casting the shells. They were tested for their
compressive strength on the day of testing the shells.
3.4 Testing of Shells as Foundation Elements
The shells were tested with their convex surface
in contact \'dtl1 the foundation soil and with equal loads
transmitted to the four corners of the shell on the edge
beams. The test set up was as given in Fig.3.2. The set up
consisted of a self-straining loading frame installed in
the test pit, and sand compacted to the desired
characteristics. The load was transmitted through a four
legged load transmitting frame by a hydraulic jack through
a proving ring and dial gauges were used to measure the
settlements of the shell at various points. The shell s
were tested on top of the sand bed. The foundation medium
consisted uniformly compacted river sand, the
characteristics of which were as given below:

results. The loading arrangements were as shown in Fig.3.2.
The loading tests were conducted as per loS.No.1888. The
loads were app 1i ed in increments of 120kg at a time after
applying initially a ceating stress of 7ogm/cm 2 and
releasing it. After each increment of load. the dial gauge
readings were noted at intervals till the rate of
settlement \'/as less than O.02mm/hr. At th is stage. the
dial gauge readings were noted and were taken as the final
readings for that particular increment of load. The loads
corresponding to the first crack and at various stages of
development of cracks were noted for each test. The
loading was continued upto the failure of the shell and the
corresponding
were noted.
settlements of various points on the shell
3.5 Tests on Shells as Roof Elements
The arrangement for testing the shell as a roof
element was as shown in Fig.3.3. The testing was done using
a self-straining loading frame in the laboratory. The
loading \'Jas done by reaction jacking through 16 points on
the body of the shell and the procedure of the test was
almost the same as that for the testing of shells as
foundation element except for the fact that the readings for
each increment of load was almost immediate in these tests
unlike the former. Here again. the loads at first crack at
various stages of development of cracks and the failure
loads were noted and the corresponding deflections observed.

3.6 Results of Tests Conducted with Shells as Foundation
and as Roof Elements
The load-deflection/settlement graphs for the
typical shells L2. L4 and Ld2 tested as roof and foundation
elements are given in Fig. 3.4. 3.5 and 3.6 respectively.
The loads at first crack and the loads at failure for each
of the shells are given in Table 3.2
Based on the study. the following conclusions were
arrived at.
1. There \'Ias no appreciable improvement in the ultimate
load of the shell due to the increase in percentage of
reinforcement in the edge beams.
2. The failure mechanism developed through cracks which
started from the edge beams and proceeded to the shell
body.
3. By i ncreas i n9 the depth of the edge beams. a defi ni te
increase. in the load carrying capacity could be
attained.
4. The loads at first crack and ultimate loads were higher
for shells as foundation than the corresponding loads
for t est s \'1 i t h the she 11 a s roo fin 9 e 1em e nt • This i s
attributed to the fact that the pressures were more
uniformly distributed for the test with the shell as
foundation than in the latter.

5. The greater the rigidity of the edge beam, the greater
were the loads at first crack and failure when the
shells of 60cm size were tested as foundation.
6. It was possible for the funicular shells of thin
sections to carry higher loads in comparison with plain
elements of same thickness to the ground resulting in
general economy of foundation construction.
