Hyperbolic paraboloid shells with various boundary  conditions and subjected to a unit normal pressure are considered in the analysis . A simple bilinear degenerate element is employed to model the shells. Shell rotations are replaced by relative displacements in describing the element displacement field. Selective reduced integration technique is used in computing the element stiffness matrix, which extends the element applications to thin shells. The solutions thus obtained are compared with the available solutions, where appropriate, to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the present study. Results are presented to facilitate the design of such structures.  0aElastic plates and shells1 aKarasudhi, Pisidhi, eChairperson0 aWorsak Kanok-Nukulchai, eExamination Committee0 aPichai Nimityongskul, eExamination Committee2 aThe Australian Government, eScholrship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
