This thesis introduces shell foundation as the economic alternative to traditional foundations. Through study a type of traditional foundation and two types of shell foundations. So that the foundations are based on weak soil possessing the same properties, and is subject to a high structural load. In this paper, hyperbolic and conical shell footings were designed and compared with sloped square footing. The result were found that , the shell footing more economical than sloped footing , in terms of the size of the concrete mass and the amount of reinforcing steel area. As follows, hyperbolic 48.1%, conical 41%.
shell foundations, hyperbolic, conical
