USA SCHOOL
Anton Tedesko, Born in Germany, Raised in Austria; 1903-1994
Attributed with much of the success of thin-shell concrete structures in the USA.
The first shell of the Z-D system built in the United States was Tedesko's design
for the 1934 Hayden Planetarium dome in New York (81 ft. diameter, 3 in thick).
The 1936 Hershey Arena roof in Pennsylvania (222 ft. span, 3.5 in thick) was the first short barrel shell
in the U.S. and represented a significant departure from German practice.
Anton Tedesko introduced the thin shell concrete roof construction to the United States and was
responsible for the design of over 60 shells during his career. His engineering design approach relied
on a balance of theory, experience with full-scale structures and close collaboration with contractors.

CHAPTER 3
“The resistant virtues of the structure that we make depend on their form; it is through
their form that they are stable and not because of an awkward accumulation of materials.
There is nothing more noble and elegant from an intellectual viewpoint that this; resistance
through form”. By: Eladio Dieste, Uruguayan Architect Engineer, 1917-200.

TRUSS ANALOGY METHOD – TAM CHAPTER 3
A new Method proposed by the Author consists in modeling a 2D or a 3D planar or curvilinear surface as a
grid or mesh of intersecting lines that will form a 2D or 3D truss composed of members that will act mainly
either in Tension (ties) or Compression (struts), and will follow the curves or lines of principal stresses of
a planar or curvilinear surface under external forces which will be distributed over the member surface
mainly in the form of membrane stresses where the principal stresses are located the shear stresses are zero.
