A complex problem analyzed and defined. Seven papers presented at the Symposium on Concrete Shell Buckling. Organizes in one handy volume up- todate information on buckling. Subject matter includes: overview of buckling of reinforced concrete shells compared to general stability and the stability of concrete columns and plates; design of several shell types-cylindrical, domicai, hyperbolic, and elliptic paraboloids, folded plates, and hyperbolic cooling towers; analytical techniques for investigating shell buckling; and experimental techniques for investigating buckling in light of practical applications.
