Performance Assessment of Double-Layered Timber Plate Shells using Alternative Structural Systems

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Anh Chi Nguyen

With recent advances in digital fabrication, innovative wood-wood connections inspired by ancient timber joining techniques have recently been applied to various free-form timber plate structures. This paper focuses on the recently developed double-layered ...

Experimental Testing of a Small-Scale Truss Beam That Adapts to Loads Through Large Shape Changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures have the ability to modify their shape and internal forces through sensing and actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous studies have shown that substantial whole-life energy savings with respec ...

Restoration of ancient Chinese opera spiral wooden domes, accounts of field practice

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye

The zaojing is a wooden construction system that covers opera stages for rain protection and sound control. Zaojings in China display a diverse range of geometric expressions, delicate manufacturing, structural behaviours, and acoustic qualities. Despite t ...

Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

Stiffness and Strength Estimation of Damaged Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Crack Pattern

Katrin Beyer

After an earthquake, the residual stiffness and strength of structural elements are typically estimated based on a qualitative visual inspection of cracks that is prone to error. In this paper a new approach is proposed to automatically estimate the update ...
