Integral Mechanical Attachment for Timber Folded Plate Structures

Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...

Mechanical form-finding of timber fabric structures

Seyed Sina Nabaei

How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...

Upscaling of Friction Welding of Wood for structural Applications

Benjamin Hahn

The present work deals with the large-scale application of the friction welding bonding technology on timber. The investigations that are described in the following were carried out on a prototype of a welding machine that was previously developed for the ...

Concrete shells – Towards efficient structures: Construction of an ellipsoidal concrete shell in Switzerland

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...

A Modular Timber Structure

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei

The presented reciprocal frame structure is a modular composition of timber folded panels. The overall geometry is driven from a folded plate base module which is then spartially multiplied in using Euclidean isometries. The intersection of consecutive mod ...

Geometrical description and structural analysis of a modular timber structure

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei, Olivier Baverel

The ambitious goal of the ongoing research at IBOIS, the Laboratory of timber constructions at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is to develop a next generation of timber constructions made out of innovative timber-derived products, throu ...

Origami - Folded Plate Structures

Hans Ulrich Buri

This research investigates new methods of designing folded plate structures that can be built with cross-laminated timber panels. Folded plate structures are attractive to both architects and engineers for their structural, spatial, and plastic qualities. ...

Origami - geometry of folded plate structures

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri

This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...

Iterative surface design for constructions based on timber panels

Yves Weinand, Ivo Stotz, Gilles Gouaty

The aim of our research is to develop a powerful tool for the generation and the fabrication of free-form architecture. Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as free ...

Laplacian Operator, Diffusion Flow and Active Contour on non-Euclidean Images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Xavier Bresson, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

We propose here some basic approaches to direct processing of the
