Abstract
Doubly curved shell roof structures have been widely studied and applied in civil buildings, because of their compressive capacity. As a spatial structure, it should increase the space, reduce the thickness of the shell, and create the architecture for the building. In particular, reinforcement is needed to repair the shell surface, forming the multilayer curved shell roof structures. In this multilayer curved shell roof, it is necessary to investigate the influence of thickness of layers, the influence of the location of the steel fibres concrete layer, and the influence of steel fibres content contained in concrete on the state of stress and strain and build relationships, load-vertical displacement and stress in the x and y directions of the shell in the investigated cases. So, this paper presents an ANSYS numerical simulation study related to the state of stress and strain in double-layer doubly curved concrete shell roof with the initial parameters being changed such as the thickness of the layers, the location of the steel fibres concrete layer in the structure (the steel fibres concrete layer that is placed above and below the normal concrete layer), and the steel fibres content contained in concrete shell with the size of 3000 × 3000 mm, which is simulated by ANSYS after being experimentally conducted on this curved shell roof; the results of experimental and simulation study are verified by each other. Research results show that the thickness of the steel fibres concrete layer is placed below the normal concrete layer, the percentage of steel fibres contained in the concrete is 2%, and the bearing capacity of the curved shell is optimal.

This paper presents an ANSYS numerical simulation study related to the state of stress and strain of double-layer doubly curved concrete shell roof with the initial parameters being changed such as the thickness of the layers, location of the steel fibres concrete layer (the steel fibres concrete layer (SFCL) above and below the normal concrete layer (NCL)), and steel fibres content contained in concrete shell with the size of 3000 × 3000 mm, which is simulated by ANSYS after being experimentally conducted on this curved shell roof; the results of experimental and simulation study are verified by each other
Discussion of Result. e study results in Figure 10 show that ANSYS and Sap2000 are similar, so when these numeric methods are compared to the experimental method, there is a difference near the shell boundary and at the top of the shell. ere is a larger vertical displacement value near the shell boundary, but a smaller vertical displacement value at the top of the shell, and the value difference between the methods is very small (0.05 mm)
Summary
Vlasov, who laid the groundwork in his research on shell types, proposed the shell theory, which is composed of thin shells. There are other studies on steel fibres concrete materials with nanosilica that can be applied in this doubly curved shell experiment and simulation [32, 33] This multilayer doubly curved shell roof is further studied when analyzing the nonlinearity of steel fibres concrete materials and the change of steel fibres content in concrete by ANSYS.
