This paper concerns the design calculations and construction of a hyperbolic paraboloid steel shell structure used as a roof for an.
Hyperbolic paraboloid roof design.
The hyperbolic paraboloid form has been used for roofs at various times since it is easily constructed from straight sections of lumber steel or other conventional materials.
It is also a doubly ruled surface that is every point on its surface lies on two straight lines across the surface.

Mass observation hyperbolic paraboloid roof documents a postwar modern structure in nottingham england that now houses a chain roadside restaurant.
The scotiabank saddledome arena has a hyperbolic paraboloid saddle roof calgary canada 1983.
Sometimes referred to as a hypar the saddle roof may also be formed as a tensegrity structure.
The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface so it may be used to construct a saddle roof from straight beams.
The term is used because the form resembles the shape of a saddle.
