ABSTRACT
This paper presents a design approach for cylindrical reinforced concrete shell roofs based on a combination of the beam method of analysis and ultimate strength method of design. The formulae governing the determination of the shells main parts of reinforcement are derived. Design aids, comprising a chart and computer program, are developed in order to expedite the computational work. It is hoped that the designer will find the proposed approach practical and reliable.
