Airship hanger, Orly airport, France

Engineer: Eugne Freyssinet


The first of two hangers, build in 1915 was the first
reinforced concrete vault.
Each vault spans 80m, is 300m long and 56m high.
The parabolic cross-section fits the funicular pressure
line for uniform load distributed horizontally.
To resist buckling under unbalanced load, the vaults
Consist of ribs of required depth without great dead load.
The 6 cm concrete ribs are 7.5 m wide, and vary
in depth from 5.4 m at the base to 3 m on top.
Skylights are integrated with the ribs.

Palace Ctesiphon (531 AD)


The ancient Palce Ctesiphon (Mesopotamien plain) has a
brick vault of 80 ft span (about 1/3 of Fryssinets vault).
The vault cross section approximates the parabolic
funicular pressure line for minimal bending stress.
