Izzuddin, BEng, MSc, DIC, PhD, CEng, FIStructE This paper reconsiders the finite-element modelling of the linear elastic behaviour of plates and shells as governed by the Reissner–Mindlin first-order shear deformation theory. Particular...

... with concrete shell that were used were above ground and resting on rigid bases. The tanks were filled to different fluid levels. The numerical studies were performed using Ansys software (Ansys, 1997). The finite element mesh for concrete shell consists of 2D four-node element type Shell43 implemented...
