Design-to-Fabrication Workflow for Raw-Sawn-Timber using Joinery Solver

Petras Vestartas

Currently, the Swiss timber industry in mountain areas largely exports unprocessed lumber and imports finished timber products due to the lack of digital tools. By using new digital design-to-production workflows, it is possible to investigate new building ...

Structural design methodology in Integrally-Attached Timber Plate structures

Aryan Rezaei Rad, Petras Vestartas

The immediate application of research discoveries requires a global and exact understanding of the structure under consideration. To gain insight into the complex behavior of structures, numerical simulations are carried out in parallel to physical experim ...

Post-tensioning of glass beams: Analytical determination of the allowable pre-load

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will in service be exposed to tensile stresses induced by bending. Maximum pre ...

Synthesis of Kit-of-parts Structures for Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos, Alex-Manuel Muresan

This paper shows a computational workflow to design a kit of parts consisting of linear bars and spherical joints that can be employed to assemble, take apart, and rebuild diverse reticular structures, e.g. gridshells and space frames. Being able to reuse ...

Uncertainties in the Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Francesco Vanin

Seismic assessments of historical masonry buildings are affected by several sources of epistemic uncertainty. These are mainly the material and the modelling parameters and the displacement capacity of the elements. Additional sources of uncertainty lie in ...

Numerical Simulation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with Timber Diaphragms

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Francesco Vanin, Ivana Bozulic

Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings. These flexi ...

Hysteretic Behaviour of Shear Stud Connectors in Composite Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

In steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with composite floor slabs, seismic loads are transmitted from the slab into the beam through shear studs. Shear strength degradation of the studs due to cyclic loading results into the loss of the load transfer mech ...
