ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS OF CONIC SECTIONS

Some of the engineering applications of conic sections widely used in practice are given below. 

1. Ellipse 

i) Elliptical arches in Civil Engineering Construction

ii) Stone Bridges

iii) A planet travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of its foci.



2. Parabola

i) Path traversed by a projectile

ii) Shape of cables in suspension bridges.



3. Hyperbola

Cooling towers and chimneys are in Hyperbolid surface, a surface obtained by revolving a hyperbola around its axis. 


Used in many monumental buildings for their architectural beauty.
