Structural aspects of vaults constructed with infill elements

This paper describes for the Fusée Ceramique vaults the effect of the time dependent deformations concerning the load transfer. Especially the creep and shrinkage of concrete will change the distribution of the loads acting on a Fusée Ceramique vault considerately. Recommendations for infill elements will be given to optimise the load transfer for composite structures as well as to reduce the self-weight and environment load of concrete vaults.
