A prototype low-carbon segmented concrete shell building floor system (2023)
Journal Article
Oval, R., Nuh, M., Costa, E., Madyan, O. A., Orr, J., & Shepherd, P. (2023). A prototype low-carbon segmented concrete shell building floor system. Structures, 49, 124-138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.istruc.2023.01.063

Concrete shell structures offer a mechanically efficient solution as a building floor system to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings. Although the curved geometry of shells can be an obstacle to their fabrication and implementation, digit... Read More about A prototype low-carbon segmented concrete shell building floor system.
