Computational tool for stock-constrained design of structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Designing structures from reused elements is becoming an increasingly important design task for structural engineers as it has potential to significantly reduce adverse environmental impacts of building structures. To allow for a broad application of this ...

X-Shells: A new class of deployable beam structures

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Etienne Bouleau

We present X-shells, a new class of deployable structures formed by an ensemble of elastically deforming beams coupled through rotational joints. An X-shell can be assembled conveniently in a flat configuration from standard elastic beam elements and then ...

Assessing the compressive strength of concrete under sustained actions: From refined models to simple design expressions

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Darko Tasevski

The detrimental influence of high levels of sustained load on the compressive strength of concrete has been acknowledged and investigated since the 1950s. Despite the potential significance of this phenomenon in many situations, current design codes still ...

Usability assessment of building performance simulation tools: a pilot study

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza

Due to climate change, the built environment is facing increasingly strict environmental targets. Thus, architects are challenged to design evermore high-performing buildings, a task for which they can no longer depend solely on their experience and intuit ...

Curriculum co-design using participatory rapid prototyping tools

Roland John Tormey

Higher education is experienced by many academics as a highly individualized environment where they work in relative isolation and often do not see how their teaching fits together with other courses and into the wider curriculum. But, when the ultimate go ...
