Construction of self-supporting reinforced concrete vaults at Antwerp
Difference between thin shells and self supporting vaults; example; shed 465×60.6 m built for Municipal Authorities in Antwerp, Belgium; thickness of vault increases steadily from 8 cm at crown to 12 cm at springings; water tightness of roof is ensured by coating with asphalt; before removing centering of bay, heads of external columns were anchored by metal ties to feet of adjacent columns.
