Various perspectives on the extension of graphic statics to the third dimension

This paper discusses the strengths, limitations and potential of three future computer-aided approaches for three-dimensional graphic statics. It concludes that a fully three-dimensional extension of graphics statics would create new possibilities for deal ...

Toward development of a biomimetic tensegrity footbridge

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

Biomimetic structures interact with their environment, change their properties, learn and self-repair, thereby providing properties that are similar to living organisms. Interactions with the environment involve unique challenges in the field of computatio ...

Design and Fabrication of Robot-Manufactured Joints for a Curved-Folded Thin-Shell Structure Made from CLT

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Seyed Sina Nabaei

The prototype presented in this chapter utilizes the technique of curved folding for the design of a thin-shell structure built from curved cross-laminated timber panels (CLT). The curved-folded geometry allows for a span of 13.5 m, at a shell thickness of ...

Resistance to LTB of steel bridge girders

Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

Lateral torsional buckling (LTB), a complex phenomenon of instability, occurs when a beam is solicited by a bending force. In the area of steel and composite bridges girders which are characterised by slender plate girders, few experimental and theoretical ...

Quasi-static cyclic tests on U-shaped reinforced concrete walls subjected to diagonal loading

Katrin Beyer, Raluca-Tereza Constantin

This article presents the test setup of two quasi-static cyclic tests on U-shaped walls under horizontal diagonal loading recently performed at EPF Lausanne. The results of the first test are discussed in terms of global behaviour: failure mechanisms and f ...

Robot-manufactured joints for a curved-folded thin-shell CLT structure

Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

The "Curved-folded Wood Pavilion" utilizes the technique of curved folding for the design of a thin-shell structure built from curved cross-laminated timber panels (CLT). The curved-folded geometry allows the structure to span over 13.5 m, at a shell thick ...

Strength of arch-shaped members in bending and shear

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Stefano Campana

Arch-shaped members are widely used for construction of tunnels, bridges, silos and shells. These members are not typically provided with transverse reinforcement and may thus have a brittle behaviour at failure. When subjected to bending or shear, traditi ...

Seismic performance of a steel moment-resisting frame subject to strength and ductility uncertainty

Dimitrios Lignos

The reliable estimation of the seismic performance of structures requires quantifying the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties of the system parameters. This is efficiently achieved for a case study of a four-story steel moment-resisting frame through seve ...

Comparison of force-based and displacement-based design approaches for RC coupled walls in New Zealand

Katrin Beyer

Reinforced concrete coupled walls are a common lateral load resisting system used in multi-storey buildings. The effect of the coupling beams can improve seismic performance, but at the same time adds complexity to the design procedure. A case study couple ...

Understanding Poor Seismic Performance of Concrete Walls and Design Implications

Katrin Beyer

The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand revealed (1) improved structural response resulting from historical design advancements, (2) poor structural performance due to previously identified shortcomings that had been insufficiently addressed in ...
