On reticulated shell structures (by Professor Gidofalvy):
“Single-layer reticulated shells sometimes referred to as grid shells became widespread in the last 15 years. Mainly the so-called free-from roof structures – with seemingly irregular shape and doubly curved mid-surface – became popular, thanks to software developed specifically for architectural design purposes. Because of the geometrical complexity, new questions arise in the areas of structural design and economic construction. The main goal of my research is to reveal the connection between the geometry of the shell and its structural behaviour. On the other hand, I focus on the joints that connect the members in the shell structure. I developed a numerical method suitable for comparing the structural behaviour of structures with different geometrical parameters and different joints.”
