Gridshells are a paradigmatic example of the intricate concept and analysis building structures. Their design should simultaneously take into account different goals meet final performances, by referring to multiple disciplinary competences such as ones architects, engineers, builders, experts in mathematics computer graphics. The present study provides deep insight new framework for holistic performance assessment gridshells. overall is quantitatively expressed linear combination three...
An innovative generative design strategy, based on shape grammar, is proposed for the minimum-weight of diagrid tall buildings. By considering building as a three-dimensional vertical cantilever beam with tubular section under horizontal load, it evident that bending and shear stiffness demands vary along width elevation building. Further, while structural buildings usually governed by stiffness, predominant criterion diagrids could be local strength demand, especially low slenderness...
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings in historic urban areas of European countries are generally clustered an aggregate configuration and often characterized by façade walls mutually interconnected with adjacent ones. As a result, the seismic performance can be affected mutual interaction between units. This interaction, called effect, could significantly influence level vulnerability URM toward in-plane out-of-plane mechanisms, latter being object present paper. Traditional methods for...
The earthquake events of the past and recent years highlight as seismic protection historical towns is a crucial current issue in Italy, but also many other prone areas Europe, where severe damages collapse buildings have been observed after events. In particular, significant detected historic centers small medium towns, mainly characterized by unreinforced masonry buildings, highly vulnerable with regard to out-of-plane mechanisms. this context, assessment vulnerability fundamental issue,...
Gridshell structures require an intricate design activity that shall comply with several goals of diverse nature. This phase can be approached different methods and strategies usually requires multiple competencies from scientific fields. In this context, a common benchmark, called FreeGrid, is proposed to the practitioners' communities in order test compare approaches optimization steel gridshells on bases ad-hoc defined performance metrics. FreeGrid sets three baseline problems: barrel...
The optimization of structures is a tricky process that involves strategies and mathematical algorithms in which the design parameters—introduced terms variables, constraint conditions, functions, penalty so forth—play very important roles. Their selection introduction could influence characteristics level derived solutions. This paper describes roles parameters used different strategies. Moreover, an efficient approach, combines form-finding (FF), sizing-optimization (SO),...
Structural optimization techniques are being usefully employed for the design of large grid shell structures. Indeed, thanks to use innovative strategies and mathematical algorithms, it is possible combine different parameters structural requirements in a global process finalized obtain solutions optimized architectural aspects. In case shells, relevant role played by joints, which particularly influence both local stability. Nevertheless, few studies specifically concerning joints...
The assessment of the seismic safety level masonry buildings is a current and important issue at basis complex process preservation historical which constitute mostly Italian European towns. Nowadays, different approaches able to provide information concerning structures are available. Among these, fragility curves allow have prediction potential damages during an earthquake geographical areas characterized by similar construction typologies. present paper concerns derivation buildings,...
<title>Abstract</title> In recent years, 3D printing technology has assumed an important role in advanced construction processes across various engineering fields. Among these, the application to architectural restoration of historic structures is particularly fascinating. The ability precisely reproduce shape and surface details complex elements, combined with availability a wide range materials, makes competitive compared traditional techniques. this context, internal volume structure...
