Mutually supported elements (MSE) arranged in closed circuits can create single module
lattice type space structures. These may be connected to one another in networks to
generate much larger space structures. To broaden ...
The growth of Dubai can probably be best seen through the increase in passenger traffic. Over the last years passenger throughput increased from 4.3 million in 1988 to
approximately 60 million in 2010. To meet the travel ...
In the context of the search for an efficient structural shape to cover the Dutch Maritime

Metal silos used to store granular solids often take the form of a cylindrical shell with an
aspect ratio in the range 2 < H/D < 6. It has long been recognized that the most serious load case for silos is the condition ...
Double-layer lattice structures composed of the square pattern and the diagonal pattern in
top and bottom layers have the member layouts of 4 types as the arrangement of the mesh patterns as shown in figure 1. To design ...
Wind tunnel experiments for several domed roofs were carried out in the boundary layer
wind tunnel at Tongji University. Experimental research in this paper shows that the non-
Gaussian feature of wind pressures exists ...

Eladio Dieste and Félix Candela are both internationally known for their elegant designs of
vaulted structures built in the mid 20th century. Dieste built his with reinforced brick
masonry in his homeland of Uruguay. ...
Until now, researches about elasto-plastic stability of reticulated domes have gotten fruitful results, but few on the elasto-plastic stability behaviors of cylindrical reticulated shells are still unknown. Therefore, based ...
