Shell and Spatial Structures

Proceedings of IWSS 2023 (Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering Book 437)

This volume collects the latest advances, innovations, and  applications in the field of shell and spatial structures, as presented  by leading international researchers at the 2nd Italian Workshop on  Shell and Spatial Structures (IWSS), held in Turin, Italy on June 26-28,  2023. The conference was meant to give an overview on experimental and  theoretical studies, analysis methods and approaches for the design,  computational form finding, structural optimization, manufacturing,  testing and maintenance techniques and historical reviews of all types  of shell and spatial structures. These include, but are not limited to,  tension and membrane structures, framed and lattice structures,  gridshells and active-bending structures, shell roofs, tensegrity  structures, pneumatic and inflatable structures, active and deployable  structures, concrete, metal, masonry, timber and bio-based, spatial  structures. The contributions, which were selected by means of a  rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting  ideas that will open novel research directions and foster  multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
