INFRAME - design and construction of a sequentially erected elastic timber gridshell ; Design and construction of a sequentially erected elastic timber gridshell
Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, September, February, 2020 ; Cataloged from student-submitted PDF of thesis. ; Includes bibliographical references (pages 79-81). ; This thesis presents a design-oriented methodology for the design, optimization and construction of sequentially erected elastic timber gridshells. A multi-objective approach toward simultaneous optimization of the overall size and grid configurations is implemented to achieve maximum structural performance and minimize cost. The proposed methodology is applied to a 1:1 design of an open-air outdoor stage within the MIT campus. The design was certified compliant with the building regulations in the jurisdiction where it was constructed. The construction of the INFRAME pavilion brings a few insights towards the potential adaptation of bending-active systems to the building codes and presents a new application of temporary elastic timber gridshell structures for outdoor events. ; by Judyta M.
