This paper concerns a novel method of constructing shell structures from flat concrete plates by means of active bending. The method is described together with a series of experimental investigations. The theoretical background for this method is given in Berger et al., Actively bent concrete shells, Struct Concrete, 2020. The method makes use of the high capacity for rotation exhibited by thin concrete...
Shells are impressive structures due to the high load‐bearing capacity they exhibit when appropriately designed. Their construction, however, is usually associated with great efforts. In this paper, a novel approach for shell‐construction is presented that circumvents the necessity for doubly curved formwork. Instead, shells are erected from flat plates to which an eccentric force is applied causing...
