    The document summarizes an experimental study on the structural behavior of domes with different types of bracing. 15 dome models were cast using normal strength concrete, modified reactive powder concrete, and reactive powder concrete. The domes were braced using various techniques like steel rings with and without ribs, RPC rings with and without ribs, GFRP strips in meridional and circumferential directions, and GFRP sheets at different heights and layers. The aims of the study were to investigate the effect of different bracing techniques, prevent lateral movement at the dome base, and evaluate the structural behavior of domes made with different concrete types. The domes were tested after casting, curing, and bra

    EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL

    INTRODUCTION
    A structure can be classified as a shell if have a curvature in one or two directions, and
    have a thickness smaller than other two dimensions. A shell is a three dimensional
    structure having two surfaces parallel its centerline. The geometry of a shell is entirely
    defined by specifying the form of the middle surface and thickness of the shell at each
    point. Shells have all the characteristics of plates, along with an additional one
    curvature. The curvature could be chosen as the primary classifier of a shell because a
    shell’s behavior under an applied loading is primarily governed by curvature.
    Depending on the curvature of the surface, shells are divided into cylindrical
    (noncircular and circular), conical, spherical, ellipsoidal, paraboloidal, toroidal, and
    hyperbolic paraboloidal shells. Owing to the curvature of the surface, shells are more
    complicated than flat plates because their bending cannot. Domes that a shell have a
    semi spherical shape, it can presents a large span. Using this type of structures belong
    to 700 BC, when the pantheon dome was constructed by masonry units, its diameter
    was 44m.

    AIMS OF THE STUDY

    1. Investigated the structural behavior of domes under the


    influence of different types of strengthening.
    2. Preventing lateral movement that occurs at the bottom of
    the dome due to the concentration of stresses in this area,
    using different types of strengthening methods.
    3. Evaluate the structural behavior of thin shell (dome)
    made with reactive powder concrete, modified reactive
    powder concrete and normal strength concrete.
    METHODOLOGY
