Basic study on multi-bay horn-shaped membrane roof - evaluation of wind load and influence of supporting system on structural behavior under winds -

NAGAI, Yuki; OKADA, Akira; MIYASATO, Naoya; SAITOH, Masao (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-11)

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 ...
Concept, design and realization of the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, South Africa for the Football World Cup 2010

BALZ, Markus; GÖPPERT, Knut; KEMMLER, Roman (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-09)

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 ...
Design and construction of multy-bay horn-shaped membrane roof - measuring results obtained from the observation during/after construction -

MIYASATO, Naoya; OKADA, Akira; NAGAI, Yuki; SAITOH, Masao (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-24)

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 ...
Design of the Grand Roof at Tokyo Station

SADAMOTO, Miwa; YOSHIE, Keisuke; KOHNO, Toshihiko; MURAOKA, Taku; TAKANASHI, Mitsuo (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-09)

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 ...
Effect of topological cues on material-driven fibronectinfibrillogenesis and cell differentiation

Ballester Beltrán, José; Cantini, Marco; Lebourg, Myriam Madeleine; Rico Tortosa, Patricia María; Moratal Pérez, David; García, Andrés J.; Salmerón Sánchez, Manuel (Springer Verlag (Germany), 2012-01)

[EN] Fibronectin (FN) assembles into fibrillar networks by cells through an integrin-dependent mechanism. We have recently shown that simple FN adsorption onto poly(ethyl acrylate) surfaces (PEA), but not control polymer ...
Mechanisms for deployable tensairity structures

DE LAET, Lars; MOLLAERT, Marijke; LUCHSINGER, Rolf H.; TEMMERMAN, Niels De; GULDENTOPS, Laurent (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-24)

This paper investigates suitable deployment mechanisms for Tensairity structures. Three proposals for a compression element for a deployable Tensairity structure are presented: the 'spiral folding mechanism' (segmented ...
Membrane structure in the form of Mobius strip

YEE, Hooi Min; CHOONG, Kok Keong; KIM, Jae-Yeol (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-24)

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 ...
Multi-objective optimization of membrane structures using Pareto-based Genetic algorithm

WU, Yue; SAN, Bing-bing; SUN, Xiao-ying (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-23)

A multi-objective optimization method is presented for membrane structures to answer the question "which shape is optimal" directly. Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is applied to solve the Pareto set, which includes ...
A new approach in the design of cable nets: The National Campus for The Archaeology of Israel

NICOLIN, Rosella; THOMPSON, Jeff; STANTON, Nathaniel M. (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-02-25)
Saving the blue planet (How membrane and spatial structures can preserve our precious water resources

LEVY, Matthys (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)

Water covers 70 % of our planet's surface and is vital to its survival, but water is becoming an increasingly rare resource. The conundrum is that the earth's population continues to expand, but the amount of potable water ...
Triangles and Quadrangles in Space

MIURA, Koryo (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)

In some space missions, the highest priority of the structural design is given to the geometry of the surface which has to be packaged and then deployed in space. Large space antennas and large solar cell arrays are such ...
