Model of a hyperbolic Paraboloidal shell footing (inside view)
Equipment
The image depicts a model of a hyperbolic paraboloidal shell footing that was designed by the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Madras. Hyperbolic paraboloidal shell footings are economic alternatives to plain footings in situations involving heavy column loads and weak soils. These footings are developed as precast foundations and installed using a special technique. Precast shell footings installed in this manner are particularly advantageous for industrial structures.
