ملخص: This thesis studies the conditions under which a shell can carry loads by membrane action only. In order for a shell to work in this way it must be impossible for the shell to deform without changing lengths on the surface. The problem is studied using statics and kinematics and it is found that the behaviour is governed both by the geometry of the shell and its boundary supports.
