Abstract
In this paper, the structural behavior of R/C cylindrical panel is analyzed by experimental results. To avoid the geometric imperfection, R/C shell specimens are made by use of a stiff steel mold. From experimental results, the load carrying behavior of R/C cylindrical panel is presented under an external lateral pressure. Even if R/C shell does not posses geometric imperfections, the inaccuracy of the reinforcement position strongly affects to the ultimate strength and the failure patterns of such shells. To explain these effects, FEM nonlinear analyses are done under the same conditions as those of experiments. The behavior of R/C cylindrical shells are well simulated under the consideration of both the geometric imperfection and several inaccuracies.
