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 ...

Discrete Voss surfaces: Designing geodesic gridshells with planar cladding panels

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design and construction of doubly-curved structures often reveals to be challenging and can result in complex manufacturing and assembly. A recent strategy to tackle this difficulty consists in exploiting the connection between discrete differential ge ...

Voss 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 ...

The 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 ...

Modelling 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 ...

Guastavino design of the 1909 thin brick dome of the Cathedral of St John the Divine.

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

In 1909, Rafael Guastavino Jr. designed the 93-foot-wide dome of the Cathedral of St John the Divine, Harlem, NY. As the thinnest brick shell in the world, the dome is also a clear example of construction efficiency and material optimization. This paper re ...
