Gkioka, Maria (author)
The Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry has been traditionally fragmented, with a lot of disciplines specialising in different aspects of a project and encapsulating different knowledge areas. This research project, entitled “Knowledge Model for the Parametric Design of Concrete Viaducts”, investigates the development of...

Een veelbelovende innovatie in de bouw is Building Information Modelling (BIM). De ontwikkeling van BIM gaat snel in Nederland en daarbuiten. Meerdere organisaties houden zich bezig met de implementatie of promotie van BIM. Strukton is één van de voorlopers in Nederland die BIM wil toepassen. Theoretisch is BIM deels mogelijk, maar de praktijk...

Momenteel kan de windbelasting op gebouwen op twee manieren worden bepaald: met behulp van de norm (NEN 6702, Eurocode) of door middel van windtunnelproeven. De norm is echter alleen bruikbaar voor eenvoudige vormen; complexe gebouwvormen vereisen windtunnelonderzoek. Dit onderzoek is echter erg duur en zeer tijdrovend, waardoor het nauwelijks...

Xexakis, G. (author)
The calculation of a residential Energy Label in the Netherlands and the payback time of an energy refurbishment are often affected by various inaccuracies between theoretical and actual achieved energy consumption. Even if improvements are attempted on either of them, significant problems occur such as the accuracy of input data for the...

Magan, C.M. (author)
This thesis presents a design for a topology-optimised concrete floor slab, of which the structural optimisation process is guided by manufacturability constraints from a vacuumatic formwork. The design has been obtained using an open-source, three-dimensional topology optimisation algorithm. Traditional floor systems are cost-optimised but can...

Lauppe, J. (author)
Recent years have witnessed the realization of multiple concrete curved surface structures. The often complex geometry of these structures led to new challenges in the final design and production phase: design of the reinforcement is one of these challenges. Current reinforcement modelling software is not capable of properly dealing with NURBS...

Koonath Surendran, S. (author)
This thesis investigates the development and application of a computational tool that optimises the conceptual stage design of a building to have minimum embodied energy and some aspects of the operating energy, depending on the adaptability required. For this purpose, a parametric computational framework for sustainable building design was...

Van Asselt, P.H. (author)
A growing use of tensioned membrane structures requires insight and understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the structure and the membrane material. In current practise the complex material behaviour is simplified due to the uncertainties that exist around the material behaviour. Testing and modelling the membrane material may provide a...

Lamping, S. (author)
In this research project, an approach is proposed for applying multidisciplinary design optimisation on building design problems. The software used in the approach are Rhinoceros and Grasshopper for the parametric configuration of the geometry, the plug-in Octopus driving the optimisation process with its multi-objective genetic algorithm and a...

This thesis has been aiming to design a light-weight, structurally safe, and engineering practical pretensioned roof structure. Firstly literature study has been performed to gain insight about the application of tensegrities as roof structures. With some programming and scripting skills some special components based on the Grasshopper...

Objective The recently developed material ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has compressive strengths of over 150 MPa and a ductile behaviour. It has a higher stiffness and superior durability characteristics in comparison with ordinary concrete. The opportunity emerges to find new optimal structural topologies for this material. The ant...

Van de Straat, R.J. (author)
The distinction whether a geometric description is complex or not is particularly important from an analysis and construction technology viewpoint in relation with the digital means of modelling this geometry. As complex geometry possibly leads to insurmountable problems or disproportionate high costs, realising a design may be reliant on...

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are rapidly developing digital fabrication techniques. After the first steps in printing of metals and plastics have been made, research from various groups around the world is now also focusing on printing in concrete and moving to larger scales. Using this technique it will be possible to create...

Bovenberg, A.C. (author)
The adoption of computation in the building industry has led to the development of a range of tools intended for design. Although commonly used for detailed analysis (FEA) and documentation (CAD/BIM), few tools address the needs of the early design stages for flexibility and quick, insightful feedback and documenting the justification of design...

In the last decad es, the computer has taken in a prominent position in the day to day life. Also in many professional worlds, computers have become indispensable for efficient business processes. The field of structural design has followed this tendency. Computers have become a tooI a structural designer cannot do without. For efficient...

The design of reinforcement in concrete structures is a complex procedure, often resulting in inefficient designs. One possible solution to improve the design process and create more efficient designs is structural optimisation. This Master’s Thesis focusses on the development of a technique for optimisation of reinforcement in 3D concrete...

The near future is challenging: depletion of non-renewable energy depletion, electricity shortage and sustainability give the need of developing renewable energy technology. The solar updraft tower power generation technology using solar and wind generates a reasonable amount of electricity with zero carbon footprint during operation. The...
