Steel Shutter for Concrete
Steel Shutter for Concrete
(OP)
Can anybody point me in the direction of how to design a 15m diameter shutter from steel for a concrete pour. The shutter is going to be 3 rings of 152UC curved and bolted together and then 6mm infill plate. I can design the plate from lateral pressures but how does one quickly calculate the radial force in the UC's. The shutter is only 1.7m high with a ring of UC's on the ground, one at mid height and one at the top. The shutter is completely above ground level.

yes the shutter is the formwork for the concrete. Like a large steel mould I suppose.
