Advantages of hyperbolic paraboloid roof structure.
Hyperbolic paraboloid shape shell structure.
Being both lightweight and efficient the form was used as a means of minimising materials and increasing structural performance while also creating impressive and seemingly complex designs.
Hyperbolic paraboloid thin shell concrete structures for sports buildings.
This characteristic of the hyperbolic paraboloid spells outstanding savings in both construction materials and time as well as engineering man hours.
Could be verbally too depending on the situation.
Furthermore these structures provide a clean inner surface often in a pleasant geometric shape.
For repetitive structures and for those needing long column free spans reinforced concrete shell roofs have often been chosen.
Hyperbolic structures have a negative gaussian curvature meaning they curve inward rather than curving outward or being straight.

As doubly ruled surfaces they can be made with a lattice of straight beams hence are easier to build than curved surfaces that do not have a ruling and must instead be built with curved beams.
All loads are axial.
The shell structures selected for these applications are simple forms most frequently combinations of various shells of revolution such as cylinders cones spheres and for the pressure vessels the torospherical or ellipsoidal shapes because of their ability to shelll to most loads by a membrane state over the major area of the shell.
Although the hyperbolic paraboloid is curved in two directions it is composed entirely of straight lines.
