Structural Design with Reclaimed Materials: an Elastic Gridshell out of Skis

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Endrit Hoxha, Sofia Colabella

This paper presents the design and construction of a 36m2 gridshell, the rigidity of which is achieved through the bending of an initially flat grid of 210 reclaimed skis. The generated waste for its production is near zero as it is mostly built from disca ...

Long-term design of FRP-PUR web-core sandwich structures in building construction

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The structural behavior of GFRP-polyurethane (PUR) web-core sandwich structures subjected to sustained loading was investigated. As a basis, a study of the mechanical behavior of rigid PUR foams used as core materials was conducted, with emphasis on creep. ...
