Funicular structures are structural skeletons designed using methodologies that analyze the flow and direction of forces, which can be categorized as compression, tension, or a combination of both. They are not only elegant, resembling naturally occurring forms, but also highly efficient and can be built with minimal use of relatively low-strength materials, thus minimizing their negative environmental impact. This book presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical foundations and practical methods of designing funicular structures for maximum efficiency.Beginning with a foundation and intr...
Funicular structures are structural skeletons designed using methodologies that analyze the flow and direction of forces, which can be categorized as compression, tension, or a combination of both. They are not only elegant, resembling naturally occurring forms, but also highly efficient and can be built with minimal use of relatively low-strength materials, thus minimizing their negative environmental impact. This book presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical foundations and practical methods of designing funicular structures for maximum efficiency.
Beginning with a foundation and introduction to funicular structures for those new to the subject, the book then provides in-depth coverage of cables, arches, shells and vaults, domes, and spatial structures. Chapters explain the theory behind funicular structures in 2D, spatial funicular structures in 3D and examine their structural behavior. Recent and historically famous structures from around the globe are analyzed, and their potential design methods revealed through step-by-step, visual explanations. Structural analysis of funicular structures in different forms are also presented to demonstrate pitfalls and common errors.
Tracing the various methods of designing funicular structures, including the latest computational tools, this book provides a solid foundation for students of architecture, structural design, civil engineering, landscape design, and environmental design, to embark on their own funicular design projects.
