During the last decades, the constant evolution of the construction systems has led to the
possibility of carrying out increasingly complex architectural project. Among the wide range …

Today, in modern construction practice, there is a solid interest in freeform structures and,
particularly, in double curvature shells. Development of manufacturing technologies made it …

In this paper, we aim to explore the mechanical potentialities of a material made of an
orthogonal net of fibers arranged in logarithmic spirals. Therefore, an annular plate …

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of a double tube heat exchanger (DTHX) on
thermo-hydraulic performance, considering 21 different shell–tube configurations including …

This contribution takes inspiration from Nervi's work and deals with the mechanical analysis
of edge-corrugated shells. Attention is paid to the definition of their mathematical and …

The Beit-El-Din Hammam is a Lebanese masonry monument characterised by vaults
pierced by holes. Despite its huge importance for the Lebanese heritage, the vulnerability of …

This paper investigates innovative approaches for enhancing the structural integrity of form-
found shell structures with a focus on rib-based reinforcements. It discusses the significance …

Large-span buildings are used for a wide range of architectural purposes, such as
commercial spaces, railway stations, ferry terminals, and airports. Yet, the construction of …

We provided the detailed buckling and post-buckling analysis of corrugated shallow
spherical shells. Such shells are extensively used in civil and mechanical engineering. Here …

This paper considers elastic shell elements. They move under pressure. The type of
dependence of displacement on pressure is called the elastic characteristic of the element …
