Hyperbolic paraboloid roof structures.
He is celebrated for his feats of architectural engineering that transform concrete into visual poetry with his structural design based on hyperbolic paraboloid geometric form.
A roof structure having hyperbolic paraboloid sections said roof structure comprising.
The hyperbolic paraboloid as a ruled surface can be a good base surface for forming bar grids.
His work with thin shell concrete roof structures broke barriers between architecture and engineering that opened the way for other architects such as santiago calatrava.
Shell structures mobilize geometry to activate both the membrane and the flexural internal force.
A roof structure for a hanger or the like in which first and second roof sections having the shapes of parts of respective first and second hyperbolic paraboloids having common base lines are joined along a line lying on the locus of an arch common to the two paraboloids to form a roof having openings of predetermined height between spaced roof supports.
Hyperbolic paraboloid shape has found applications in various solutions of building roofs mainly as reinforced concrete or steel coverings made of bent sheets.
It is also a doubly ruled surface that is every point on its surface lies on two straight lines across the surface.
Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet.
A hyperbolic paraboloid sometimes referred to as h p is a doubly curved surface that resembles the shape of a saddle that is it has a convex form along one axis and a concave form on along the other.
Mathematically a saddle shape contains at least o.
Hyperbolic paraboloid shell structures author s.
A saddle roof is a roof form which follows a convex curve about one axis and a concave curve about the other.
He is celebrated for his feats of architectural engineering that transform concrete into visual poetry with his structural design based on hyperbolic paraboloid geometric form.
The hyperbolic paraboloid form has been used for roofs at various times since it is easily constructed from straight sections of lumber steel or other conventional materials.
A first section cementitious having the shape of a predetermined part of a hyperbolic paraboloid generated.

Often these are tall structures such as towers where the hyperboloid geometry s structural strength is used to support an object high off the ground but hyperboloid geometry is also often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy.
Praaboloid repetitive structures and for those needing long column free spans reinforced concrete shell roofs have often been chosen.
Tests on a one tenth scale model of a hyperbolic paraboloid shell roof.
