A finite element procedure of a four-node rectangular flat shell element (FSE) is programmed for structural analysis of steel penstocks. The influence of axial constraint and support settlement on the internal forces of the steel penstocks is investigated. It can be concluded that the FSE is suitable for thin shell structures of steel penstocks and can achieve satisfying accuracy. The axial constraint caused by rest piers would remarkably increase the axial internal forces along pipeline, while the influence of support settlement on the internal forces of the steel penstock is limited, and so is the increment.
