Equivalent Shell Model of Elastic Gridshells Including the Effect of the Geometric Curvature

In this work, an equivalent continuum of a barrel gridshell is introduced. Constitutive identification procedures based on periodic homogenization are provided in the literature for this purpose, based on a flat Representative Element Volume (REV), notwithstanding that the geometry of the structures...
