A Funicular Shell is a 3 dimensional catenary on a rectilinear

base. The roofing system consists of doubly curved shells

made with materials of good compressive strength such as
waste stone pieces and brick tiles and supported on
reinforced concrete edge beams. A series of these shells in
variable geometric configurations supported on a grid of
concrete beams, identical to a coffer slab, provides an
attractive roof for small to medium spans.

Reinforced brick panel roofing system:

In this system, concrete is used in maximum
compressive stress zone and bricks in less compressive
stress zone. Reinforcement in Brick Panels is encased
in cement concrete grade not leaner than M 20 or
cement mortar 1:3 (1 cement: 3 course sand) with
proper cover to avoid corrosion. The method of precast
fabrication is adopted for making precast concrete joists
and brick panels.

Precast concrete joists:

Partially precast concrete joists (M20) are designed to
behave like T-beam along with the in-situ concrete
(M20) laid over the panels and joists. The precast
portion of the joists is designed to take self load and
handling stresses only and therefore, it needs to be
propped at two equidistant points before placing panels
and laying concrete.
Folded plates:
Folded plates are assemblies of flat plates rigidly
connected together along their edges in such a way that
the structural system capable of carrying loads without
the need for additional supporting beams along mutual
edges.

Ribbed Slabs made of Ferro cement:

A new type of slab to be applied in semi-prefabricated
construction. The slab is made of a thin 15mm fiat layer of
ferrocement stiffened by a set of ribs. The aim is to develop a
low cost slab wbich is easy to handle and erect.

RCC framed structure:

In an RCC framed structure, the load is
transferred from a slab to the beams then to the
columns and further to lower columns and finally to the
foundation which in turn transfers it to the soil. The walls
in such structures are constructed after the frame is
ready.
