The Spanish architect Juan Antonio Magallón is known as one of the most important disciples and collaborators of the architect Felix Candela Outeriño. Despite many existing writings about Felix Candela’s life and work , there is a lack of detailed studies concerning the calculation methods used in their structures. Tonda participated especially in structural design and geometric development of structures designed by Candela; specializing in thin reinforced concrete shells. This article analyzes and develops methodological contribution of J.A. Tonda structural calculation of these types, specifically the case of roof long cylindrical shells, based on the limit analysis with plastic approach from equilibrium. With the method, then exposed and called beam method, it was possible to calculate, safely and easily, these structural types as it is show below.
