Slender multistress driven structures

CONCLUSIONS

The ultimate design is responding to both the requirements criteria:

01. Spacial performance (minimal road network).

02. Structural performance (Slenderness criteria).

03. The reiterative process helps in finding the most suitable solution to each specific project case.

04. Material anisotropy is improved by controlling the fiber layout – therefore the structural performance increases.

05. The researched anisotropy increases the structural performance in the ultimate design, where a stress driven distribution of fibers can improve the load bearing capabilities.

06. Moreover, the methodological approach illustrated in this work opens to a wide variety of possible configurations due to the flexibility of the digital tools.
