13、GENERAL1.1Introduction (Fig. 1.1)For centuries, arched and dome-shaped structures haveefficiently enclosed large clear-span volumes. The strength ofcompound-curved surfaces allowed early builders toconstruct self-supporting thin-shell buildings from a varietyof materials. Due to the tremendous amoun

14、t of time and effortneeded to create the desired shapes, construction of thesethin-shelled structures sometimes spanned several decades.Knowledge of the design and construction of thin-shellconcrete structures has greatly increased over the past 100years, both from research and practical experience.

15、 In thepast 40 to 50 years, the use of inflated forms has allowed shellsto be constructed more economically (South 1990). This newtype of construction process presents new challenges andconcerns. Safety measures and construction tolerances areaddressed in this report for many types of systems usingi

16、nflatable forms.1.2Scope (Fig. 1.2)This report contains the lessons learned in the constructionof thin-shell concrete dome structures using inflated forms.As this method of construction continues to gain popularity,additional research is needed to increase understanding ofthe behavior of this type o

17、f shell so that inflated-form structurescontinue to meet adequate levels of safety and serviceability.Included are construction procedures, tolerances, and designchecks to ensure that the finished structure meets adequatesafety and serviceability levels. This document focusesprimarily on inflated fo

18、rm thin shells using polyurethanefoam as part of the construction process. Many structures arebuilt using fabric forms where the concrete is applieddirectly to the form either from the outside or the inside.These general guidelines apply to all methods.1.3History (Fig. 1.3)Since the early 1940s, sev

19、eral methods of construction usinginflatable forms have been used. These methods includeshotcrete applied to the form exterior, and foam and shot-crete applied to the form interior.In 1942, Wallace Neff received a patent on a system wherethe form was inflated to the shape of the structure, and thent

20、he reinforcing bar and shotcrete were placed on the exteriorof the form (Neff 1942). Dante Bini later developed andreceived a patent on a system where the reinforcement andconcrete were placed on the exterior of the form before it wasinflated. It was then raised by air pressure to form the dome(Fig.

21、 1.4) (Bini 1986).In 1972, Lloyd Turner received a patent on a process inwhich the inflated form was sprayed with foam on the insideto a desired thickness creating a self-supporting foam domeFig. 1.1Faith Chapel Christian Center, Birmingham, Ala.:280 ft (85.35 m) diameter and 72 ft (22 m) tall that

The patent was later reissued with concreteapplied to the interior of t

24、he foam (Fig. 1.5).In 1979, David and Barry South were issued patents on amethod similar to that of Turners (South 1979). Theirmethod differed in that the structure was self supporting onlyafter the shotcrete was in place (Fig. 1.6) (South 1986).All patents for the use of inflated forms in construct

25、ion ofthin shells are now in the public domain with one exception:the Crenosphere, the technique patented by David Southfor the construction of thin shell domes of diameters largerthan 300 ft (91 m) using a cable net restraint system and ribs.When the concrete is placed on the outside of the form, t

26、hecables will be buried in the concrete and function as rein-forcement. When the concrete is placed on the inside of theform, the cables are removed once the structure is solid.Bridges and arch buildings have been built using inflatedforms where inflation forces are restrained by steel hoopsplaced o

27、n the exterior of the inflated form. Some very largedome-type structures have used steel tie-down systems toallow higher inflation pressures.1.4Methods (Fig. 1.7)Inflated-form, thin-wall shotcrete construction hasbecome one of the most common and widely used methodsin the construction of domes. The

28、Monolithic Dome Instituteestimates over 2000 thin shells have been built over the last30 years using the fabric form method, whereas those builtwith conventional forming methods are few in number.Until recently, only a few contractors have possessed the skillsand the equipment necessary to undertake

29、 this type of construc-tion. As architects and engineers are becoming aware of theadvantages of this inflated form method and its use increases,industry design and construction standards are needed.Shotcrete can be placed on the inflated form from eitherthe outside or inside. Some systems use higher

30、 air pressureand the inflated fabric form to support all the loads, whereasothers support some construction loads with a reinforcementlayer and initial layers of shotcrete.Although each method has unique construction chal-lenges, they all have many similar characteristics. Thisreport does not distin

It discusses theconstruction factors that are common to all of the inflatedform methods:Inflated form manufacturingshape, size, fabric, andfabrication; Foundation detailsanchor system, uplift prevention,layout, and form

38、o the site should be provided forthe constructors personnel and vehicles during construction. The contract documents should provide the general layoutof the dome, including a center point and orientation fordoorways. The preconstruction and construction testingprocedures should be agreed upon betwee

39、n the owner andthe constructor. (The owner usually provides for all testingeither in-house or by use of a testing agency.)1.7Work scheduleMost of the work done inside and outside the dome is frombaskets. Because only a few people can work out of anysingle basket, production can be increased by worki

40、nglonger hours or, on larger structures, using more baskets.When spraying foam or shotcrete, schedules are greatlyinfluenced by weather conditions or how much work that canbe done at once, so flexibility is important in creating thework schedule. The constructor may work one, two, or threeshifts, ar

41、ranging their work to best fit the project require-ments. Job site cooperation is important to assure a quality,safe, and productive project, as well as to minimize the riskassociated with this method of construction (for example,relying on fans to hold up the dome).CHAPTER 2FOUNDATIONS2.1GeneralThe

42、 dome foundation usually consists of a reinforcedconcrete ring-beam footing, circular in plan, rectangular insection, and designed for anticipated loadings and soilbearing conditions. The footing usually acts as a tension ringto resist vertical and internal loads. Design considerationsinclude the si

43、ze of the dome, the occupancy, local buildingcodes, relevant national standards, and soil report (Fig. 2.1)(Billington 1982).The footing ring beam provides the foundation for thefinished structure, anchorage points for the inflated form(Fig. 2.2), the weight to resist the upward pressure of theinfla

44、ted form, and the air seal to prevent the pressurized airfrom escaping. The footing ring can also be used as a tensionring to resist the horizontal thrust of internal loading.2.2ConcreteCertification that the concrete meets ASTM C 94 shouldaccompany each concrete delivery.Concrete properties and han

45、dling should conform toACI 301 and the following:Minimum 28-day compressive strength of 3000 psi(210 MPa);Maximum coarse aggregate size of 1 in. (25 mm);Air entrainment of 6.5 1.5% (these are higher levelsthan in ACI 214R);No added calcium chloride;Water-cement ratio of 0.55 or less; andSlump of 2 i

46、n. (50 mm) minimum to 8 in. (200 mm)maximum at the point of discharge.If placed on aggressive soils, greater strength or chemicalresistance can be achieved by adjusting the mixture propor-tions. For instance, the use of sulfate-resistant cement maybe required.2.3Soil conditionsWhen soil conditions a

47、llow, excavating a trench to therequired dimensions and placing the concrete and reinforcingbars in the trench is acceptable. If trenches are not practical,then wood or metal forms can be used.

48、.CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE SHELLS USING INFLATED FORMS 334.3R-5should be formed and finished to final grade and geometryfor proper inflated form attachment.Because the dome is light and the shell is monolithic, it isgenerally tolerant of differential settlement. Spread footingsare normally used, but

49、if the soils do not have adequatebearing capacity, pilings can be used to support the dome.The ring beam and the dome must always be integral. If pilesor columns are used, the ring beam can be set on top of thepiles. The conventional grade beam may not be needed, butthe ring beam is required. If the dome is built or resting uponcolumns and walls, the dome will be able to withstand differ-ential settlement, but the columns and walls may not.The footing trench should be inspected for proper beari
