Deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete shells for offshore strctures

Gravity base structures (GBS) are shell structures made of reinforced concrete (RC). After past few years with little development activity, interest in robust structures for the arctic environment, as for liquefied natural gas terminals and for special floating barges is growing again (Figure 1) [3]...

Description
Summary:Gravity base structures (GBS) are shell structures made of reinforced concrete (RC). After past few years with little development activity, interest in robust structures for the arctic environment, as for liquefied natural gas terminals and for special floating barges is growing again (Figure 1) [3]. For the design of GBS extensive knowledge about the material and deformation behaviour is needed.
