It is a well known fact that if we take a flat piece of paper in our hands it is a weak, and
slack.. However if you fold this piece of paper a few times the structural behaviour changes from weak to strong and form slack ...
This paper presents the results of experimental research into concrete produced by replacing the natural
aggregates with recycled aggregates coming from construction waste and concrete work demolitions. The
main aim of ...

Computer-aided design tools can be of great assistance in the design process. However,
commercial software typically caters to the optimisation of one objective and does not
address the fact that real world problems tend ...

[EN] With the development of the Building Information Modelling in the last couple of years, numerous potential field have open for this. Heritage Building has been one of those, giving the possibility to create parametric ...
A horn-shaped membrane is known for his resistance against external loads owing to the
curved-form resistant system and tensile forces on the membrane. This paper focuses on an existing building, which consists largely ...

This final year project proposes the building of a public leisure centre, which consists of a tropical garden and an indoor swimming pool, (see Figure 1), both within the same
enclosure, so the installations can be enjoyed ...
The tubular truss is widely used in the large-span spatial structures for its good performance under various loading cases. In this paper, the design of a spatial tubular truss is presented, and its loading capacity is ...

The design of transformable architectural structures is difficult in comparison to static
architectural structures. This is due to the multi-dimensional response to both quantitative
and qualitative functional and ...
This paper describes the design method of long and unique shape membrane structure in
capital Tokyo. The membrane structure, designed to create an impression of Japan's
traditional Washi paper, forms gentle curves of ...
