Abstract:This paper uses the method of mixed-type series to derive the analyticsolution of cylindrical shell roof,being simply supported transversely,arbitra-rily restrained longitudinally and subjected to gereral transverse local loads.This paper also presents the analytic expressions of the solutions for somekinds of local load.Some examples of this kind of shell roof subjected to ainlined single force near the middle of it with free lorgitudinal edges aregiven.The computation shows that the convergence of the solution is woll
