Abstract:
Art and engineering need not be at odds. The recently updated ACI 334.1-22 Concrete shell structures - Guide, opens up new avenues to design exciting and beautiful shell structures. The guide breaks down design options ranging from the straight lines of folded plates to the varying curves of free form and form found shells, and everything in between. After exploring the different shell configurations, we will delve into an overview of the design, analysis and construction of shells. From sheds to opera houses and churches to train stations and public spaces, shell structures are an opportunity to meld art and engineering.
