Experiments are described which support the application of the membrane theory of shell analysis in determining optimum shapes for underwater structures of constant strength. A relationship between marine life and such structures is considered and design procedures for shape selection are given. Proposals for the investigation of the behaviour of such structures under loadings other than the initial design forces are outlined both from an analytical! numerical and an experimental approach.
