Which Shell Structure Wins? (Structures 3-1)

We can learn a lot by building structures and testing them. Here I talk about the behavior of shell structures, how to build model versions, and show some examples of actual physical testing!
I'm Paul Kassabian. I'm a structural engineer and a Principal at SGH in Boston, MA. I taught graduate students at MIT for nine years and currently teach on/off at Harvard's Graduate School of Design (GSD). These are videos based on my years of teaching structures to students. Enjoy!

You and me both...that was the plan but my daughters didn't want to break the catenary arch model!
