Precast shells roof supermarket
Twelve circular translational shells with 24 ft span in each direction were cast at ground level and then hoisted by two small cranes in New Canaan, Conn; geometrically shell is formed by translating circular arch 24 ft in span and 3 ft 3 in. in rise over identical arch at right angles; repetitious use of individual forms on ground together with shell reinforced with only 0.37 psf of steel makes construction economical. (see also Eng News-Rec v 159 n 6 Aug 8 1957 p 33-4)
