Engineering Principles
“Compound Curved Sandwich Shell Structures PC Domes Technology combines two fundamental engineering concepts – the structural qualities of the compound curved shell, and the structural qualities of the sandwich panel. Strength of the Compound Curve In compound curved structures, the strength of the arch is magnified because energy forces are distributed both downwards and sideways. The eggshell provides a simple illustration of this principle. Try crushing an egg by placing its ends between your palms and pressing hard. You’re more likely to hurt your hands than crush the shell. Like the eggshell, PC Domes take advantage of the inherent strength of the compound curve. The gravitational stresses in the overhead section are distributed out and around, enabling the building to be self - supporting without the need for beams, walls or columns.
Sample of the PC Domes panel
– A core of polyurethane foam sandwiched between two
FRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic ) structural skins. Strength of the Sandwich Panel
The second Technology is the ‘sandwich’ panel which is both lightweight and extremely strong.
The basic principle of sandwich construction is to separate two load
-
bearing skins with a lightweight core material. In a sandwich panel under load, one skin
is under compression while the other is in tension. The further apart the skins are, the greater the stiffness of the panel. Thermal Performance and Energy Efficiency The core of the sandwich panel is structural, close celled polyurethane foam which is one of the most efficient insulating materials available. Closed cell polyurethane is reported to be up to 97% efficient compared to some traditional systems which can be as low as 35% efficient. The minimum core thickness of 80 mm (for PC Domes 6.0m diameter)
