Influence of G. Kazinczy in the Structural Analysis of Long Cylindrical Roof Shells
Publication: Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction
Volume 27, Issue 1
Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the beam method in cylindrical shells from a mathematical point of view. We mainly focus on the methodological contribution by the engineer G. Kazinczy, well known by his influence on the Theory of Plasticity, in order to illustrate the structural calculation of long cylindrical reinforced concrete roof shells. Kazinczy’s methodological contribution to their structural calculation was developed at a time when attempts were being made to make computations in a rigorous manner, applying the mathematical mechanism of the theory of elasticity. The method is more feasible than the analytical method from the computational point of view, and it is based on the study of various states of equilibrium used by Kazinczy in his analysis of these structures.
