Double-layered timber plate shell. International Journal of Space Structures
Yves Weinand, Mark Pauly, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Mira Dedijer
This article presents a new lightweight construction system for doubly curved shells made from timber plates, inspired by the masonry vaults of Eladio Dieste. The system was developed for a specific case-study project, and general applications to other fre ...
2017Reciprocal diagrams: Innovative applications of past theories
The geometric relationships between a structural configuration and its internal force distribution have not received much attention for nearly hundred years. Directly stemming from the most fundamental principles of statics, the underlying theories were br ...
2016Analysis and design of an innovative solution for tunnels using elastic-plastic stress fields
Aurelio Muttoni, Stefano Campana
For the conception of cut-and-cover tunnel, two solutions are usually considered to define the cross-section : an arch/vault or a frame. The vault enables an optimal static behavior in case of a large soil cover and symmetric loads. However, this solution ...
