Interesting results obtained while forming structures with the use of single-petalous hyperbolic paraboloids are presented in this paper. Two main methods of forming compound shells are discussed. Formation possibilities are illustrated by examples, such as box beams and columns with walls made of hypars, bunkers and vertical silos, support elements in foundation that work under vertical load with large eccentricity, folded structures, vaulted and domed radial shells that have various plan views. The structures, mentioned above, are made of hypars with straight edges.
