The use of parametric software such as Generative Components (Bentley Systems),
Grasshopper (Robert NcNeel), Digital Project (Gehry Technologies - Dassault Systemes)
and others, has revealed an ever larger variety of ...

This paper studies approaches to improving the convergence properties of nonlinear
stiffness equations. A space truss is large structure that must be built to be quite thin, and for this reason a structure stability review ...
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 ...
BASSO, Paolo; DEL GROSSO, Andrea E.; PUGNALE, Alberto; SASSONE, Mario(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-09)
In this paper an optimization problem related to the tessellation of a free form grid shell is
presented. This kind of structures is generally composed by a supporting grid that defines
the geometry of a large number of ...
A new method of computational morphogenesis for the shell structures with free curved
surface is proposed, where not only the shape of shell surface but also the topology of the curved surface can be obtained at the same ...
Actual trends in numerical shape optimal design of structures deal with handling of very
large dimensions of design space. The goal is to allowing as much design freedom as
possible while considerably reducing the modelling ...
A lot of research has been carried out in the relation of structural optimisation and form
finding processes of architectural and engineering building projects and only recently the
consideration of other performance ...
BORGART, Andrew; TIGGELER, Lonneke(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-01-14)
The purpose of this research is to analyze the structural behaviour of shell structures by
studying the way (applied) loads naturally flow through shell structures to their supports
and relating this flow off forces to ...

This paper is a preliminary version of Chapter 3 of a State-of-the-Art Report by the IASS
Working Group 5: Concrete Shell Roofs. The intention of this chapter is to set forth for
those who intend to design concrete shell ...
BAVEREL, Oliver; CARON, Jean-François(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-11)
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 ...
As part of the City of Durban's redevelopment program the projected World Cup stadium
was chosen to create an icon for the KwaZulu Natal region and Durban, being the 2nd
largest city of South Africa. The ambitious plan ...
MUNGAN, Ihsan(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)
Author's own experimental and theoretical researches on buckling of shells of revolution
are summarized with special emphasis on the conceptual approach behind them. Effect of the biaxial stress states is depicted in form ...

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 ...
INODA, Daisuke; IMAGAWA, Norihide(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-15)
In This paper, firstly, characters of TWFS for space and dynamics are showed. Secondly, explain Ds factor, which appears in the calculation of ultimate horizontal force, by energy method proposed by Akiyama. Then, formulate ...
MIHAILESCU, Mircea; SUNDARAM, R.(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)
Concrete shells are moldable to any shape and can be made aesthetically beautiful. This
paper discusses the suitability of various methods of concrete shell roof construction,
necessary precautions and quality guidelines. ...
GOMEZ JAUREGUI, Valentin(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-23)
Tensegrity is a developing and relatively new system (barely more than 50 years old) which creates amazing, lightweight and adaptable figures, giving the impression of a cluster of struts floating in the air. The intention ...
NIJSSE, Rob(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-18)
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 ...
JENSEN, F.(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-09)
The Danish Cancer Center by architects Gehry Partners has presented the engineering team with a number of challenges. This paper describes primarily the challenges posed by the used of 450x450mm solid wooden members for a ...
NEILL, Megan; VAN DE STRAAT, Roel; COENDERS, Jeroen(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-01-29)
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 ...
