Over the past decades, timber has gained popularity as a sustainable building material because of the rising environmental awareness. Furthermore, the resurgence of timber has also been encouraged by the advent of the digital age during the 21st century. T ...

EPFL2020

Spurred by the recent advancements in Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) technique has been resurrected. Using IMAs, connections between timber elements are established through their form, instead of using additional connecto ...

Joinery Solver for Whole Timber Structures

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas

This paper presents a digital joinery generation method for whole-timber structures using wood-wood connections. The research is based on a collaboration with a local timber company located in a mountain area [1]. In this context, there is a need to explor ...

Design of Truss Structures Through Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Joseph Jean François Desruelle

This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...

3D Finite Element Model for Shear Stiffness of Wood-Wood Connections for Engineered Timber Panels

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Anh Chi Nguyen, Jean-François Bocquet

With the development of automated design and fabrication tools, researchers have shown a growing interest for traditional timber joining techniques. Innovative wood-wood connections, referred to as integral mechanical attachments, have been developed and s ...

Design and Control of Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures

Gennaro Senatore

The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and most of the environmental impacts of structures are embodied into load-bearing systems [1]. Civil structures are usually designed to meet strength and deformation requirements to withst ...

Segmented Spiral using Inter-Connected Timber Elements

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Martin Thomas Nakad, Loïc Henri Pelletier

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and construction process of a scenography structure representing a five-meter height spiral made out of 3-ply crosslaminated panels. The structure includes 29 timber boxes. Typical through-tenon wood-wood joi ...
