Abstract In preparing a Swedish handbook on stability of shell structures it was contended that present design codes and recommendations, with few exceptions, employ rather crude rules and also severe tolerance limits especially concerning spherical domes manufactured on site.

In the treatment of the test results a computer program was used allowing a statistical analysis.
