Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...

Structural behaviour of timber folded surface systems greatly depends on the connections ability to transfer the occurring forces between the adjacent elements and finally to the supports. This paper focuses on multiple tab-and-slot joints (MTSJ), where di ...

This article presents a new lightweight construction system for doubly curved shells made from timber plates, inspired by the masonry vaults of Eladio Dieste. The system was developed for a specific case-study project, and general applications to other fre ...

Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) uses features in the form of components for their connection. In addition to the transfer of forces, locator features are used as integral assembly guides. Prismatic, single-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) joints only allow fo ...

Automatic joinery has become a common technique for the jointing of beams in timber framing and roofing. It has revived traditional, integrated joints such as mortise and tenon connections. Similarly, but only recently, the automatic fabri- cation of tradi ...

Automatic joinery has become a common technique for the jointing of beams in timber framing and roofing. It has revived traditional, integral joints such as mortise and tenon connections. Similarly, but only recently, the automatic fabrication of tradition ...

This paper is focused on the structural design of an innovative wood-wood connection designed for a full-scale double-layered timber folded-plate structure: the new Vidy theatre pavilion (Lausanne, Switzerland). Investigations into the potential of these n ...

The widely available automated prefabrication in timber construction companies, as well as modern CAD software with application programing interfaces, allow for the design and production of increasingly geometrically complex building components. This devel ...

Dieser Artikel beschreibt die erste vollmasstäbliche Umsetzung eines zweischichtigen, gefalteten Flächentragwerkes aus Brettsperrholzplatten, für das Projekt Théâtre Vidy Lausanne. Durch eine neuartige Doppelzapfen-Verbindungstechnik dient die Form der Bau ...

This paper focuses on multiple tab-and-slot joints (MTSJ) for load-carrying assembly of structural wood elements, which are inspired by traditional cabinetmaking joints and adapted for automatic fabrication and engineered wood panels such as laminated vene ...

This presentation presents our reserach into the design and potential applications of CNC fabricated snap-fit joints for cross-laminated veneer lumber panels (LVL). These joints are new to the building construction sector, but commonly used in other domain ...

This article describes the first full-scale realization of a double-layered, folded plate structure (DLFP), for a new hall for the Théâtre Vidy Lausanne. (Fig. 1). Enabled by a novel double-tenon connection technology, the shape of the components simultane ...

Die weit verbreitete automatisierte Vorfertigung im Holzbau, sowie moderne CAD-Software mit Programmierschnittstellen ermöglichen und vereinfachen zunehmend die Herstellung von komplexen Bauteilgeometrien. Diese Entwicklung erfordert und ermöglicht gleiche ...

Über einen langen Zeitraum wurden im Zimmererhandwerk Holzverbindungen mit Handwerkzeugen wie Beilen, Sägen und Stemmeisen hergestellt. Diese traditionellen Verbindungen nutzten die Form der Bauteile, um Kräfte zu übertragen. Das Konzept wird auch als inte ...
