Form Finding of Shell Bridges Using the Pneumatic Forming of Hardened Concrete Construction Principle

Concrete shells are fascinating structures. Even thin shells can span over large areas without requiring any columns. If a form-defining load case exists, the shape of the shell can be designed to ensure that the forces in the structure are transferred primarily by the membrane action, which leads t...
