Nature Inspired Form Finding Strategies Assessment using Genetic Algorithms
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015)
In this work, several topology generation procedures have been implemented on architectural surfaces combined with urban forms. Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams and the recently proposed [1, 2, 3] Voronax diagram, ...
A new methodology, extending the inversed catenary form finding method of Antonio Gaudi to generative space shells
(Eccomas, 2016-06)
This work aims to constitute an algorithmic framework for the automatic creation of compression only forms of generative space shells. In particular the case of concrete dams is investigated, where the loading is non-uniform ...
Torsional design criteria in building codes and comparison with more accurate modeling using structural optimization tools
(4th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2013)
It is widely accepted that seismic design philosophies do not follow the efficiency of seismic analysis methods is quite remarkable. Torsionally unbalanced structures, is a common field where any of the proposed design ...
Building houses with bacteria
(2014-10-20)
Houses of the future could be partially built with bacteria. It sounds like science fiction but researchers involved in an EU-backed project in Madrid are working towards making this a concrete reality.
Form finding of architectural artifacts using genetic algorithms. A novel approach of handling parametric objects as design variables
(2016)
This work aims to contribute on the form finding techniques of generative space
artifacts, considering objects of parametric design as programming objects, and in particular
design variables –due to parametric approach- ...
Forecasting and uncertainty: A survey
(IOS Press, 2016)
The origins of forecasting can be traced back to the beginning of human civilization with attempts to predict the
weather, although forecasting as a field first appeared in the 1940s and attracted more followers from the ...
Numerical aspects of incremental dynamic analysis for the retrofitting of existing industrial steel building utilizing SSCD dampers
(2017)
In this work, the nonlinear analysis of an existing industrial steel structure (Sodium building), and its retrofitting using SSCD dampers is demonstrated. Specific numerical complications of incremental dynamic (IDA) and ...
