The influence of water-saturation on the strength of volcanic rocks and the stability of lava domes
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap
The rocks forming a volcanic edifice or dome are typically saturated or partially-saturated with water. However, most experiments aimed at better understanding the mechanical behaviour of volcanic rocks have been performed on dry samples, and therefore mos ...
2023Modelling historical masonry aggregates using the Equivalent Frame approach
Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Igor Tomic
Many historical centres in Europe, including the city centre of Zagreb, feature masonry building aggregates, which developed as the building layout of the city was densified. Adjacent buildings in aggregates often share a structural wall and the building t ...
2021Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel
The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...
2021Generation of elastic geodesic gridshells with anisotropic cross sections
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel
Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flatteni ...
2021The compass in the eye: The "geometric mechanics" of Viviani at the bedside of the Brunelleschi dome
Simon François Dumas Primbault
During the 17th century, being an engineer at the Medici Court was a discipline at the intersection of mathematics, and the pictorial and mechanical arts. Born out of the heritage of Alberti, Vinci, and Vasari, the Accademia del disegno - founded on the th ...

2020The ancient Chinese opera spiral wooden domes
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye
The zaojing is an ancient architectural element that is widely found in various public buildings, such as temples, pagodas, palaces, and theatres. It is a richly decorated sunken ‘dome’ with a round top and a square bottom set into the ceiling and assemble ...
2019Modelling Workflow for Segmented Timber Shells using Wood-wood Connections.
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau
This paper presents a modelling method based on planarization for double-curved segmented timber shell made from quad polygons and assembled by wood-wood connections. The inspiration is taken from timber dome structures, where solid timber walls were built ...

2019Experimental seismic performance of a half-scale stone masonry building aggregate
This paper focuses on the unidirectional dynamic shake-table test performed on a prototype of a natural stone masonry building aggregate. The half-scale prototype was designed to reproduce the features of existing unreinforced stone masonry building aggreg ...
