dünnschalentragwerk
Dünnschalentragwerke are structural systems characterized by their thin, shell-like components that derive their strength and stability from their curved geometry. These structures typically consist of materials such as concrete, steel, or timber that are formed into curved shapes like domes, vaults, or hyperbolic paraboloids. The thinness of the shell allows for efficient distribution of loads over the entire surface, leading to significant material savings compared to traditional beam or slab construction.
The structural behavior of a dünnschalentragwerk relies on membrane forces, which are in-plane stresses that develop
Dünnschalentragwerke are often employed in large-span applications where traditional structural systems would be impractical or uneconomical.
