New form of large-span roof construction
Basis of new design, known as "A.T.A.Silberkuhl roof" is arched steel frame of special cross section, frame being put under tension which in turn puts concrete shell under compression, thereby creating optimum static conditions; application of roof to plant of Thames Board Mills, Purfleet, Great Britain, is basically north light structure consisting of concrete shells spanning between latticed arches. (see also Mass Production v 33 n 9 Sept 1957 p 80-2)
