Various design drivers influence the architectural engineering design process, such as architectural criteria or multiple environmental impacts. Most of these conditions are time dependent, which leads to the challenge ...

Wind loading is the most dominant load for light-weight structures such as membrane roofs. Since the multi-bay horn-shaped membrane roof has a complicated shape and is composed of several horn-units depending on the building ...

A Rolamite hinge is made up of two rollers held by three tensioned bands attached to either part, with ends of each band terminating on opposite sides of the hinge, ensuring a no-slip condition. This paper investigates the ...

The projects that are presented below are a further piece in the concept and operative puzzle in my study into the ¿reasons of the shape¿ of bridges. This new experience has been gained further to my maturity in designing ...

[EN] Construction is a key industry that significantly contributes to the global gross domestic product and generates substantial revenues. However, it faces challenges such as errors and high costs. The aim of this study ...

The public buildings such as gymnasiums which are realized with spatial structures have been often used for regional temporary shelters when the disaster of huge earthquakes or typhoons has occurred. Therefore, the safety ...

For free-forms as well as shells the choice of the grid of the structural system will be decisive for the architectural and structural design. This paper analysis several grids concerning the load transfer and construction. ...

The nonlinear bending problem of a constant cross-section simply supported beam pinned at both ends and subject to a uniformly distributed load qðxÞ is analyzed in detail. The numerical integration of the two-point ...

This paper proposes a concept of a beam prestressed by bending. An application through an example of footbridge with three supports is shown and illustrated. By bending a beam with a central cable, this cable will be in ...

Chongna site is a symbol space that makes a synthesis of economic, industry, science and technology which Korea intends to pursue for. This project is planned for a monumental landmark to contribute to the national vision ...
