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, ...

The increasing necessity to solve complex problems in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering requires the development of new ideas and innovative methods for providing accurate numerical solutions in affordable ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper presents a design proposal for the fortress and the surrounding area of the city of Thessaloniki and will be a part of a general planning and management schedule based on environmental aspects. In this way, the ...

In the Paris world exhibition of 1867 Carl Rabitz, a German master builder, patterned the roof of his own villa to extend the functional space in the building design. The flattened roofs and the extra space given to the ...

Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. In the last decades, many silos were damaged by natural events, among which the seismic events are the most significant. Indeed many ...

Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. They should be designed to resist several loading conditions, and their seismic behaviour, which strongly depends on the geometrical and ...

The present paper studies a) the restoration of the landscape in a quarry site and b) the establishment of vegetation and its incorporation into the natural landscape without affecting the aesthetics of the area. The aim ...

A number of articles have been published, studying the issue of torsional response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings [1], the majority of them were focused on the strength of the structural elements or the structure ...

The Egnastia Road constitutes a part of Transpeuropean Network and is one of the fourteen priority projects of the European Union. It is the most important modern infrastructure project for the development of Greece and ...
