Shaping curved steel rod structures

Abstract

W artykule podejmuje się problem efektywnego kształtowania krzywoliniowych, stalowych konstrukcji prętowych utworzonych na bazie powierzchni Ennepera. Zaproponowany parametryczny proces kształtowania polega na powiązaniu geometrycznego kształtowania siatkowych modeli z ich analizą strukturalną i optymalizacją, realizowanymi za pomocą narzędzi projektowych pracujących w środowisku Rhinoceros 3D. Oceniono mechaniczne właściwości kratownic pokrytych taflami szklanymi, a struktury wstępnie zwymiarowano. Zaprezentowane powłoki kratowe o dobrych właściwościach strukturalnych mogą stanowić oryginalne przekrycia, natomiast analiza strukturalna ukierunkowana na wczesny etap projektowania ma na celu dostarczenie wytycznych projektowych ułatwiających komunikację między architektami i inżynierami.

 

The paper addresses the problem of the efficient shaping of curved steel rod structures conducted based on the Enneper surface. The proposed parametric design process consists in linking the geometric shaping of grid models with their structural analysis and optimization, which is realized through the application of design tools working in the Rhinoceros 3D software. The mechanical performance of lattices covered with glass panels is evaluated and the structures are pre-dimensioned. The presented aesthetic grid shells with good structural characteristics may constitute original coverings. However, the analysis, which targets an early stage of the design, aims at providing design guidelines to facilitate communication between architects and civil engineers.
