Know about the book -

Shell Structures in Civil and Mechanical Engineering is written by Alphose Zingoni and published by Thomas Telford. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0727736361 (ISBN 10) and 9780727736369 (ISBN 13).

This book explains, in a practical and straightforward way, the fundamental theory needed to understand the behaviour and analysis of a wide range of shell structures within the industry. It provides explanations of both the membrane and bending theories of shells; provides general solutions to specific types of problems encompassing pressure vessels, pipes, liquid-retaining tanks, cooling towers, domes and shells roofs; derives the results for junction problems of many shell structures (including those of compound geometry), and presents these in simple closed-form format for the convenience of the practical analyst and designer; employs comprehensive parametric studies based on the closed-form analytical results, to propose useful design recommendations for a variety of shell structures.
