Connecting Engineering Rigor and Visual Creativity Gordana M. HERNING* *MIT, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper describes a studio-style project-based graduate course that introduces classic and computational approaches to creating design options for long span structures and tall buildings. The course aims to convey how an iterative design process serves to refine solutions that can be conceptually anticipated using methods such as Graphic Statics or the Maxwell Theorem, and validated through numerical analyses. While student teams employ engineering principles to explore relationships between form, geometry, and performance of structural systems, they also reconcile questions about the environmental impact, constructability, and visual strength of the designs. Learning from the best examples of built structures develops sensitivity to proportion and elegant structural solutions that merit architectural expression and convey economy of the design through thoughtful use of materials. In addition to structural engineering, students in the course have had a background in architecture, façade engineering, or mechanical engineering; therefore, designs reflect a variety of interests and require effective communication of ideas across disciplines. During field visits and guest lectures students gain additional insight into the engineering rigor and creativity in the real-world structures. Regular interactions and project reviews with practicing engineers emphasize critical analysis and optimizing load paths, structural systems, and connection details. A common thread in all class activities, inspired by David Billington’s scholarship and teaching, is to understand the cultural and economic meaning of efficient forms that can be achieved through creative and disciplined structural design. Keywords: conceptual design, form finding, optimization, spatial structures, tall buildings 1. Introduction Among the most creative and challenging aspects of design is achieving technical and visual strength of structures that fulfill the goals of utility and value for users, while conserving public and natural resources consistent with the knowledge and tools that are available to designers. The notion that the highest achievements in design encompass appropriate social (costs and utility), scientific (form and materials), and symbolic (appearance and meaning) responses within the constraints of time and site conditions (among others), thus upholding the tradition of “Structural Art”, was defined through critical analysis of exemplary designs across the ages by David Billington (Billington [1]). Engineers who holistically integrate elegant shaping with efficient material use and economy in construction, by employing inventive forms to span large distances and reach new building heights, have developed their artistry through experiential knowledge, rigorous application of engineering principles, and sensitivity to the human experience of structures – their aesthetics. Learning about the designers of exemplary structures reveals strivers dedicated to purposeful discovery and development of skill through refinements of design until simplified, essential solutions are found, which may be more challenging to achieve than a complex response that also satisfies design requirements. This paper presents the activities in which students engage in the graduate course “Structural Design Project” to explore design strategies within the context of two projects, namely (1) a long-span roof, and (2) a tall building. The course is offered to seniors and graduate students studying at the intersection of Copyright © 2019 by Gordana M.

The students bring their interests in structural, mechanical, or geotechnical engineering, architecture, computational design, and experience from internships, research, or design practice to a dialogue that seeks to distill the complex design process into simple, clear concepts relating the form and behavior of a structure. Study of actual buildings that illustrate relationship between form and element forces, intuitive analytical and graphical techniques, and numerical modeling approaches are introduced with an aim to build upon the various students’ experiences and create stepping stones toward their practical application in a new design. A central course objective is to motivate student-driven learning about structural behavior as a result of geometry and materials, and to encourage students to convey their ideas in a concrete and clear manner to their peers and engineering professionals. Classic approaches to analysis, hand calculations and drawings, assigned readings, and advanced computational methods are used to illustrate possible paths from complexity to the simplified and clear solutions that can help students appraise design alternatives before they engage in a detailed design of a structure. Among the questions being asked in the course are: What lessons about creative design solutions can successful engineering works of the

The border of the sawn cultivated land had been pushed westwards under the pressure of the nomadic tribes from the east. Several reasons are suggested for this decline, including maladministration and the taxation policies of the Ottoman Empire. Some of the regions south of Ajlun, including Amman area, and along the escarpment of the Jordan valley were almost completely abandoned. Recovery starts during the last quarter of the 19th century. 1860 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces The unification of Italy leads to urban expansion outside the old city walls, which have lost their defensive value.

  • Effects of Wingwall Configurations on Integral Abutment Bridges
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EFFECTS OF WINGWALL CONFIGURATIONS ON THE BEHAVIOR OF INTEGRAL ABUTMENT BRIDGES Andreas Paraschos, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Amde M. Amde Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering This research includes parametric studies performed with the use of three-dimensional nonlinear finite element models in order to investigate the effects of cantilever wingwall configurations on the behavior of integral abutment bridges located on straight alignment and zero skew. The parametric studies include all three types of cantilever wingwalls; inline, flared, and U-shaped wingwalls. Bridges analyzed vary in length from 100 to 1200 feet. Soil-structure and soil-pile interaction are included in the analysis. Loadings include dead load in combination with temperature loads in both rising and falling temperatures. Plasticity in the integral abutment piles is investigated by means of nonlinear plasticity models. Cracking in the abutments and stresses in the reinforcing steel are investigated by means of nonlinear concrete models. The effects of wingwall configurations are assessed in terms of stresses in the integral abutment piles, cracking in the abutment walls, stresses in the reinforcing steel of abutment walls, and axial forces induced in the steel girders. The models developed are analyzed for three types of soil behind the abutments and wingwalls; dense sand, medium dense sand, and loose sand. In addition, the models consider both the case of presence and absence of predrilled holes at the top nine feet of piles. The soil around the piles below the predrilled holes consists of very stiff clay. The results indicate that for the stresses in the piles, the critical load is temperature contraction and the most critical parameter is the use of predrilled holes.

The stadium has a reinforced concrete structure and it is composed by 24 stands, a 50-meter tower (“Maratona” tower) and a cantilever roof. In occasion of the World Cup in 1990 the stadium was renovated by adding seats at the ground level as retrofit. A study for seismic requalification is in progress and an interferometric radar was used for monitoring the architectural complex. In particular, the radar monitored the “Maratona” tower and some stands. In this paper, the preliminary results of this measurement campaign are reported. The wind action was exploited to test the “Maratona” tower and the measurement was performed both with an interferometric radar and a seismic accelerometer. Natural frequencies measured with both instruments substantially match. The stands are too rigid to be appreciably excited by wind or vehicular traffic, hence the measurements were performed during football matches. The supporters’ movements were used as input action to measure the dynamic properties of stands.

Introduction The Mid 20th Century Architecture in New Hampshire Context: 1945‐1975 was prepared by Lisa Mausolf, Preservation Consultant, under contract for the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. The context was prepared as mitigation for the sale of the Employment Security building at 32 South Main Street in Concord. The modern curtain wall structure was designed by Manchester architects Koehler & Isaak in 1958. A colorful landmark on South Main Street, discussion of the architectural significance of the building draws commentary ranging from praise “as an excellent example of mid‐ century Modern architecture and ideals of space, form, and function”1 to derision, calling it one of the ugliest buildings in Concord. NH Department of Employment Security, 32 South Main Street, Concord (1958) The Mid 20th Century Architecture in New Hampshire Context was prepared in order to begin work on a framework to better understand the state’s modern architectural resources. The report focuses primarily on high‐style buildings, designed by architects, and excludes residential structures.
