Self Designing Structures
The aim of the self designing structures project is to develop Finite Element - mesh based - algorithms for finding `optimal' structural solutions to initial layout and redesign problems.
Total Structures
The patented Total Structures Outdoor Stage Top System is unique. Its modular design allows for upgradeable combinations of load bearing roof structures from grid sizes of 25ft. x 25ft. to 85ft. x 85ft. in 10ft. increments with a maximum height of 50ft. a
Testing of Northridge Earthquake Failures
Suggestions for testing light wood structures and components are presented based on failures caused by the Northridge earthquake of January 17, 1994, and other recent earthquakes in Southern California.
