The first Congress of the International Association of Shell Structures (now IASS), held in
Madrid in 1959, was the occasion when Heinz Isler's innovative methods for determining
the shape and constructing reinforced ...

[EN] In the field of bending-active structures, the complexity of finding beforehand the equilibrium configuration and the non-linearity of the structural response are main issues during the conceptual phase. The use of ...
A numerical method is presented for form-finding of cable domes. The topology and the
types of members are the only information that requires in this form-finding process.
Dummy elements are used to transform the cable ...
[EN] In the digitalization of planning, analysis and building processes, a streamlined interaction between the conceptual phase and the structural design is of crucial importance to overcome the gap between architecture ...
In the context of the search for an efficient structural shape to cover the Dutch Maritime

For long span structures, the size of the structural members should be determined by
considering the esthetic view. As a result, the slenderness ratio of members is increased and the structures may be suffered from ...

Form-finding of membrane surface bordered by Möbius strip is investigated. Möbius strip
is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. In this study, the
possibility of adopting the form of Möbius strip ...

From an aesthetical point of view, spatial arch bridges are a consequence of new
architectural demands for bridges in urban environments. They also arise to meet functional requirements when arch structures are the most ...
