Estrado, Erron (author), Turrin, M. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author)As technology advances, architects often employ innovative, non-standard shapes in their designs for the fast-growing number of high-rise buildings. Conversely, climate change is bringing about an increasing number of dangerous wind events causing damage to buildings and their surroundings. These factors further complicate the already...journal article 2022

Eigenraam, P. (author), Borgart, A. (author), Chilton, John (author), Li, Qingpeng (author)This paper presents a detailed structural analysis of a bubble shell engineered by Heinz Isler. Through 3D scanning the geometry of this shell structure has become available to the authors. Structural analysis has not been possible before since the geometry of the shell was not available. The bubble shell was Isler’s most built type of shell. In...journal article 2020

Smits, J.E.P. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author), Gkaidatzis, R. (author), Visser, Dirk Rinze (author), Wong, Kailin (author), Wassermann-Fry, Stephan (author)This paper investigates the symbiotic relationship between the architectural appearance of a bridge and the structural design. The research is done by reviewing and comparing the design methodology employed by the first author in the conceptualization of two of his bridges; an early work from 1997 and a recent work from 2017. The review of the...journal article 2018

Eigenraam, P. (author), Borgart, A. (author)Many free form shell structures that have been designed and build in previous decades are fascinating structures. We can learn from these structures by analysing them and studying their structural behaviour. However, in some cases the geometry of these structures is not available; most notably the shapes of shell structures designed and build by...journal article 2016

Schipper, H.R. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author)Practical implications of deforming a flat mould surface into a double-curved shape. Proposal for processing concrete elements with a complex double-curved geometry in an efficient and accurate manner using parametric, associative modelling.journal article 2016
