Lift-Shape Construction, An EFL Project Report.
Evans, Ben H.
Research development of a construction system is detailed in terms of--(1) design and analysis, (2) construction methods, (3) testing, (4) cost analysis, and (5) architectural potentials. The system described permits construction of usual shapes without the use of conventional concrete formwork. The concrete involves development of a structural steel skeleton in such a way that it can be fabricated on a flat plane, sprung into final position, and coated with concrete or other sprayable materials. Photographs and diagrams illustrate development of both the system and actual construction. (MH)
