Contributor Nijsse, R. (promotor) Veer, F.A. (promotor) Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architectural Engineering and Technology Date 2016-04-08 Abstract This thesis analysis the structural design of cilindrical Fusee Ceramique roofs and the effect of the ceramique infill elements for the time dependent deformations, stiffness and load bearing capacity, including second order. To save the few remaining buildings for the coming generations the possibilities to strengthen and stiffen these structures are explored. The design of prefabricated barrel vaults reinforced with slender ties is described. To increase the efficiency the tubular infill elements are positioned not parallel but perpendicular to the span. The effect of these infill elements is described. Models with tubular infill elements positioned perpendicular to the span are tested.
