Integrally attached timber folded surface structures

Andrea Stitic

In structural engineering, folded surface structures present one of the concepts for construction of self supporting column free systems. They utilize structural benefits of folding to achieve material saving and improve structural efficiency. The folding ...

Characterization of Cold-Formed Steel Framed/Wood Sheathed Floor and Roof Diaphragm Structures

Dimitrios Lignos

The seismic in-plane response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm structures has not been the subject of extensive study. The information available specific to diaphragm design in the North American CFS design standard is based on limited experimen ...

A Double-Layered Timber Plate Shell - Computational Methods for Assembly, Prefabrication, and Structural Design

Yves Weinand, Mark Pauly, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Mira Dedijer

This paper presents a new lightweight construction system for doubly-curved shells, built from two interconnected layers of structural wood veneer plates. The system uses integral through-tenon joints for a fast, precise, and simple assembly, allowing for ...

vdf Hochschulverlag AG2016

Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...

EPFL2016

The paper "Structural and Mossbauer studies of evaporates Fe100-x Pd-x thin films" by A. Laggoun et al. contains interpretation errors of XRD patterns and therefore cast some heavy doubt on the actual phases present in the Fe-Pd films. ...

Timber Folded Plate Structures – Topological and Structural Considerations

Yves Weinand, Andrea Stitic

This paper analyses the potential of different possible folded form topologies for generating timber folded surface structures. The main advantage of such structures lies primarily in the realm of ecology and sustainability. By offering an integral way of ...

Transforming architectures inspired by origami

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Paper folding is found across cultures for both aesthetic and functional purposes, with its most widely recognized exponent being the ancient art form of origami. More recently, there has been an upsurge of interest for translating origami designs into mat ...

A Perspective on the Revival of Structural (In)Stability With Novel Opportunities for Function: From Buckliphobia to Buckliphilia

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Buckling of slender structures is traditionally regarded as a first route toward failure. Here, we provide an alternative perspective on a burgeoning movement where mechanical instabilities are exploited to devise new classes of functional mechanisms that ...

Numerical analyses of the effect of SG-interlayer shear stiffness on the structural performance of reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...

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 ...
