Abstract
Varieties of surfaces from which various shells may be designed and constructed are practically infinite. With the advent of such materials as reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, ferro-cement, fiber-reinforced concrete, composites, and reinforced plastics, the varieties of shell geometries have been further increased. The choice of a particular surface geometry for the shell depends on the functional, structural, and architectural requirements.
