This book offers a comprehensive overview of the use of bamboo in the building industry. It systematically demonstrates bamboo's utility in terms of its properties, describing the material properties of typical industrial bamboo products, and discussing their performance evaluation and optimization as building components and in the creation of building envelopes. The book presents the recent developments regarding the innovative ways to design and represent architecture through parametric survey tools, and describes the experimental geometrical-generative design process of a connection joint for free-form lightweight structures employing beams made of bamboo culms. It examines algorithmic-generative design themes, through processes of optimization, analysis, and geometrical-spatial verification, employing the potential of digital form-finding design and digital manufacturing techniques to validate the defined technological solution. This book appeals to scientists and professionals and is a valuable resource for civil engineers, designers and students interested in this unique plant material and its application in the building industry.

This book describes the application of mathematical and fundamental theory as stated in the relevant standards, namely EYM and NDS. Timber is one of the important building materials in the field of engineering, other than concrete and steel. However, there is still a lot of unexplored knowledge about timber, including how timber connections are made. One of the main types of timber connection is mortise and tenon. Mortise and tenon are widely seen as one of the most important traditional timber structural joint. In order to understand the load-carrying capacity and performance of the structural mortise and tenon joint, the existing theoretical background of timber joint design is made as a reference. Current equations applicable in estimating the load-carrying capacity of timber joint uses the European Yield Model (EYM). Therefore, the main aim of this book is to share the basic design knowledge, inclusive of safety factor limitations (as engineering main factor) in structural design.

This book explores membrane materials as a means of translating natural and renewable resources into a more flexible, dynamic, and reactive architectural skin. It represents the first time that energy-saving design has been addressed systematically in relation to lightweight building systems and tensile membranes. Understanding of the energetic behavior of membranes and foils used as a building envelope is a fundamental theme, as it is the integration of flexible photovoltaics in membranes, as well as the exploitation of water and wind resources. A theoretical, methodological framework for consciously designing the membrane life cycle is presented. The authors cross-cut and combine exploration of climate-based design methodology and life cycle thinking strategies. Both active and passive systems are investigated, referring to alternative productive resources like sun, wind, and water. Case studies are brought forward in the book's second half, highlighting energy lightness for an increasingly dematerialized architecture and addressing inherent issues. Four main research and development paths are presented, the first two focusing on advancements in façade materials and Photovoltaic systems applicable to membrane architecture, the third referring to fog and dew harvesting and the fourth dealing with the future frontier of flexible transparency and designs for well-being through a passive solar system.

More than ever, future developments in technologies and products will be judged by the extent to which they improve resource efficiency and take effective climate and environmental protection into account. Germany is seeing great innovative and growth potential for key interacting technologies in the area of multifunctional lightweight structures. This book presents select research findings for new combinations of technology that have been developed by Germany's first Federal Cluster of Excellence in the field of lightweight structures (MERGE). The presented findings promise to be particularly sustainable and broadly impactful in their application. New methods, potential solutions, and examples of pilot applications take center stage as the text explores the next generation of functional integration via lightweight structures. The underlying manufacturing processes are based on textile, polymer, and metal processing techniques, all of which are suited for large batch production, flexibility, and reproducibility. Contents Hybrid construction methods and technologies Semi-finishing and preform technologies Metal-intensive hybrid technologies Textile and polymer-based technologies Micro and nano system integration Surface and interface technologies Modeling, integrative simulation and optimization Editor Prof. Lothar Kroll directs the Institute of Lightweight Structures and the Affiliated Institute CETEX at Chemnitz University of Technology. As part of his professorship of Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology at TU Chemnitz and his work for the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology as Head of the STEX Research Center as well as the ALighT project center (located in Poland), his efforts focus on research and development in the area of textile-reinforced plastics and hybrid lightweight structures and their associated in-line and in situ combinations of technologies (so-called MERGE technologies).
