From 2004 to 2009 he has developed his career in the construction sector, mainly related to
R&D in structures, modular buildings, development of new products and patents, etc …

This paper demonstrates a novel two-phase approach to the preliminary structural design of
grid shell structures, with the objective of material minimization and improved structural …

The objective of this paper is to propose a simple method using dynamic relaxation
algorithm to find the form and perform a structural analysis of reciprocal frame systems, also …

Grid shells are efficient structural systems covering large open spaces with relatively small
amount of materials. Also, post forming techniques allow realization of geometrically …

This paper proposes and validates a three degrees of freedom element formulation that
accounts for torsion and transverse bending of three-dimensional curved elements in explicit …

Double-curved surfaces are increasingly being designed and fabricated in contemporary
architecture and engineering. However, the fabrications are always time-consuming and …

Tensegrity structures are a class of free-standing and prestressed cable-strut structures.
Different from traditional elastic structures, both geometric shapes and initial prestress …

Timber gridshell structures, such as the Multihalle for the federal garden festival in
Mannheim or the Downland Museum, have been the result of a creative–generative process …

Deployable structures are mobile assemblies which do not aim motion but to attain different
configurations depending on the service requirements. These structures are widely used in …

This paper deals with the stability and convergence rate of the kinetic damping process in
Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method. Based on running an incremental analysis, a new …
