Differential Settlement of Hyperbolic Cooling Towers
Publication: Journal of the Structural Division
Volume 98, Issue 10
Abstract
A differential displacement of the supporting system of a hyperbolic cooling tower is modeled by a five column segment of the shell base. An explicit relationship between the relative displacement and edge-load is derived from the Boussinesq solution for a semi-infinite sheet and adapted to the differential settlement model of the shell. Based on an approximate homogeneous solution to the bending theory equations for a hyperboloid of revolution, the boundary conditions are specified in terms of the stress resultants from the consideration of overall equilibrium and compatibility. An example shell with the dimensions of a typical hyperbolic cooling tower is studied to show the in-plane and bending stress resultants due to a unit relative displacement.
