Shells: Barrels
Image-GoddenE66 Small cylindrical barrel shells. The longitudinal span between supporting columns is 45 ft. This multi-shell roof terminates with a short edge shell which stiffens the boundary against deflection in a direction normal to the shell surface. (Martinez, California)

Image-GoddenE67 Oakland International Airport, California. These conoidal surface shells have a span between columns of 50 ft, an overhang of 15 ft, and a width between columns of 15 ft. The overall geometry of these shells can be seen from the aerial view in GoddenE58. (Oakland International Airport)
