This paper examines the main considerations related to the seismic design and assessment of single layer steel cylindrical lattice shells, and offers recommendations for their practical application. Geometric configurations covering a wide range of rise to span ratios are considered within the investigation. An insight into the relative influence of seismic loading on shell design, in comparison to gravity conditions, is firstly provided through the use of digital parametric engineering procedures. This is followed by linear elastic response assessments which are used to propose a simplified procedure for estimating the internal seismic forces for the purpose of member sizing in early design stages. Suitable approaches for pushover analysis are then discussed and used to identify inherent plastic mechanisms. The results of incremental nonlinear dynamic analysis, using a suite of fourteen records, are also employed in order to validate the findings and to further assess the ultimate response under realistic seismic loading conditions. Based on the findings, representative ranges for behaviour factors and displacement modification coefficients are derived alongside discussions on their implementation within codified seismic design procedures. Apart from providing recommendations for simplified design approaches, the assessments presented in this paper can also be used to support detailed performance based guidelines as well as for informing geometry and size optimisation strategies.

本文探讨了与单层钢制圆筒形网格壳的抗震设计和评估有关的主要考虑因素，并为它们的实际应用提供了建议。在研究中考虑了涵盖范围广泛的跨度比的几何构造。首先，通过使用数字参数化工程程序，提供了与重力条件相比地震荷载对壳体设计的相对影响的见解。接下来是线性弹性响应评估，用于提出简化的过程，以估算内部地震力，以便在设计的早期阶段确定构件的尺寸。然后讨论了用于下垂分析的合适方法，并用于识别固有的塑性机制。为了验证发现并进一步评估在实际地震载荷条件下的最终响应，还使用了一组十四个记录的增量非线性动力分析结果。根据这些发现，可以得出行为因子和位移修正系数的代表性范围，并讨论在规范化地震设计程序中如何实现这些范围。除了为简化的设计方法提供建议外，本文介绍的评估还可以用于支持基于性能的详细指南，以及为几何和尺寸优化策略提供信息。为了验证发现并进一步评估在实际地震载荷条件下的最终响应，还使用了“地震波”。根据这些发现，可以得出行为因子和位移修正系数的代表性范围，并讨论在规范化地震设计程序中如何实现这些范围。除了为简化的设计方法提供建议外，本文介绍的评估还可以用于支持基于性能的详细指南，以及用于告知几何和尺寸优化策略。为了验证发现并进一步评估在实际地震载荷条件下的最终响应，还使用了“地震波”。根据这些发现，可以得出行为因子和位移修正系数的代表性范围，并讨论在规范化地震设计程序中如何实现这些范围。除了为简化的设计方法提供建议外，本文介绍的评估还可以用于支持基于性能的详细指南，以及为几何和尺寸优化策略提供信息。
