Concrete’s poor tensile strength and strong compressive capacity makes it suitable for shell structures, a structural system containing mainly compression. In this case study a spherical shell was optimized, leaving a shell lattice structure that comprises 30% of the initial volume. |
The optimized shell lattice structure measuring 12 x 12 x 4 meters represents a spatial expression of the imbedded forces.
