Abstract


This article deals with three interesting thin shell structures that serve as roofs for churches in various parts of Spain. The excellent functional properties of these shells is worth noting as well as their spectacular aspect and relatively low cost, especially if their complex geometry and striking structural effectiveness are taken into account. The Portuguese architect Fray Coello provided the general pattern of the designs, and the firm Construcciones Laminares, S. L., was responsible for the supervision of the construction, the calculations, plans, details and the actual construction. This paper was submited to lASS, 1967, in Mexico.
