Journal Article
BEACH UMBRELLAS
2020
Overview
A team of civil and environmental engineers at Princeton University is investigating the possibility of using what they call concrete umbrellas to hold back the sea--an attractive addition that would provide shade for pedestrians most days, but with a roof that can swivel toward the ocean, as a barrier against an incoming storm. The design uses a hyperbolic paraboloid shape that looks like a saddle, curving inward along one axis and outward along the other.
