Rotational stiffness in timber joinery connections: Analytical and experimental characterizations of the Nuki joint

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Historic timber structures feature timber joinery connections that use interlocking geometries rather than fasteners. While timber construction since has gradually favored metallic fasteners, the longevity of historic timber structures utilizing joinery co ...

Form follows availability - Designing structures through reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Gennaro Senatore

This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...

Design of Truss Structures Through Reuse

Joseph Jean François Desruelle, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Gennaro Senatore

This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...

Exploration of spatial structures made from reused elements and the design of optimal kits-of-parts

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Gennaro Senatore

Reuse reduces raw material use, waste generation and energy consumption caused by building construction. A substantial share of these impacts is contributed by load-bearing systems be-cause of their mass- and energy-intensive production process. Therefore, ...

Modern timber design approaches for traditional Japanese architecture: analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches for the Nuki joint

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This work fully investigates a specific timber joinery connection via experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. The selected joint is the Nuki joint: a mortised column with through-beam tenon. The experimental approach takes advantage of digital fab ...

The reuse of load-bearing components

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Load-bearing systems of buildings are poorly valued when they reach functional obsolescence. Still, they contribute the most to the material weight and embodied impacts of buildings and infrastructures. The reuse of structural components therefore offers g ...

Optimum Truss Design with Reused Stock Elements

Joseph Jean François Desruelle, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Gennaro Senatore

This paper proposes the application of optimization techniques to design reticular structures made from a stock of reused elements. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to reduce the enviro ...

Embodied Carbon Benefits of Reusing Structural Components in the Built Environment: a Medium-rise Office Building Case Study

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

This paper provides parametric estimates of embodied carbon reductions when structural components are reused in a typical office building. First, a lower bound of structural material quantities is estimated for a typical steel frame structure in a low-rise ...

Optimization Formulations for the Design of Low Embodied Energy Structures Made from Reused Elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Gennaro Senatore

The building sector is one of the major contributors to material resource consumption, greenhouse gas emission and waste production. Load-bearing systems have a particularly large environmental impact because of their material and energy intensive manufact ...

Reconsidering traditional timber joinery for sustainable structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Timber construction plays an important role in architectural history, in modern construction methods and in sustainable design, for which wood-only joinery techniques have been used for centuries. Traditional joinery typologies are the product of successiv ...

Design Space of Modular Slab Systems with Discrete Stiffness Distribution and Irregular Column Layout

Dario Redaelli, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan

A known challenge of modular structural systems is to avoid the oversizing of its elements while allowing a wide variety of spatial layouts. Considering any given floor outline and the availability of square slab elements with three discrete bending and sh ...

Structural Characterization of Traditional Moment-Resisting Timber Joinery

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Jingxian Ye

This paper investigates the structural performance of traditional moment-resisting interlocking timber joints for modern building construction. Gradually improved over generations, traditional Japanese and Chinese interlocking connections have proven struc ...
