This lecture covers the application of the membrane theory of shells to analyze membrane forces in thin shell structures under various loadings, including cylindrical and spherical roofs. The instructor explains how to parametrize the mid-surface of shells, derive covariant base vectors, and solve equilibrium equations for cylindrical and spherical shells.
