1. Forces in a surface revolution

T1 = meridian force (KN/m)

T1 (+ve) = compression , T1 (-ve) = tension
T2 = ring force (KN/m)
T2 (+ve) = compression , T2 (-ve) = tension

2. How to get membrane forces T1 , T2   •
T1 = KN/m) (1)

- for Domes   •
R1 + R2 = R

T1 + T2 = RZ

r = R2 sin Ø

at crown point Ø = 0

T1 = T2 =

t = 12 cm
L.L = 1 KN/
F.C = 0.5 KN/

- Sol.:-
D.L = 0.12*25 + 0.5 = 3.5 KN/
L.L = 1 KN/

At sec. 1
at ∅=0
T1= T2= RƵ/2
Ƶ=g cos⁡(∅+P Φ)
= 5.25 (cos 0) + 1.5 ( 0)
= 5.25 + 1.5 = 6.75 KN/
T1= T2= (6.75*5.67)/2=19.13 KN/ (Comp.)

At sec. 2
at ∅=61.93
W∅= g2π Rh+Pπ
= 5.25*2π*5.67*3+1.5*π 5^2
= 560.82+117.75=678.6 KN

   •
T1= (W∅)/(2π r sin⁡∅ ) = 678.6/(2(3.14)(5) sin⁡61.93 )
=24.5 KN/m' (Comp.)

Then Design Sec. ====> As = -ve

T1+ T2=RƵ
Ƶ=5.25 cos⁡∅+1.5 Φ =2.8
24.5+T2=2.8*5.67
T2=-8.624 Kn/m' (Tens.)

As=(8.624* 〖 10 〗 ^3)/(360/1.15)=27.5 mm^2

Use 5Φ10/m'
