Design and exploration of externally post-tensioned structures using graphic statics

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Funicular structures, which follow the shapes of hanging chains, work in pure tension (cables) or pure compression (arches), and offer a materially efficient solution compared to structures that work through bending action. However, the set of geometries t ...

Panel: The Future of Electronics, Semiconductors, and Design in Europe

Giovanni De Micheli

For more than a decade, Europe has been the wireless continent; today, wireless has almost completely shifted to the U.S. and Asia. This shift has had a profound impact on the electronic, semiconductor, and design ecosystem: long-time leaders have disappea ...

Soft matter design principles for inorganic photonic nanoarchitectures in photovoltaics, colorimetric sensing and self-cleaning antireflective coatings

Stefan Guldin

The self-assembly of soft matter, such as block copolymers or colloids, allows fine tuning of structure formation on the 10 - 500 nm length scale and therefore enables the design of materials with tunable optical response. We present strategies on how to e ...

Design and experimental verification of an innovative steel–concrete composite beam

Jean-Paul Lebet, Dimitrios Papastergiou

This paper deals with the design method and the experimental verification of a new type of steel–concrete composite beam under static and fatigue loading. The connection is an alternative solution for steel–concrete composite bridges suitable for prefabric ...

Toward a System Design Science

Joseph Sifakis

Design is a universal concept. It links the immaterial world of concepts to the physical world. It is an essential area of human experience, expertise, and knowledge, which deals with our ability to mold our environment to satisfy material and spiritual ne ...

Springer-Verlag Berlin2014

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 ...

Robert Maillart's Key Methods From the Salginatobel Bridge Design Process (1928)

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper sheds light on some of the graphical methods used by Robert Maillart to design the Salginatobel Bridge, a three-hinged concrete structure spanning 90 meters. Built in 1929, this masterpiece has since received extensive recognition both for its s ...
