CONNECT4C: High-strength steel connections for circular construction 6th International Conference on Structures and Architecture (ICSA). 8-11 July 2025. University of Antwerp, Belgium.

Abstract Connect4C is a research project funded by the European Union, which aimsto develop a system of high-strength steel connections for circular steel construction. It focuseson developing ready-to-use, standardized solutions for demountable, reusable, and adaptable3D connections, taking advantage of the

THRIVE 2025-2028

The objective of the present project is to develop a new construction system for timber gridshells that minimizes the cost of material, labour and auxiliary resources and that is competitive for application in standard works. For this, it is proposed to integrate the active bending in the forming process with the use of wood-wood joints made by CNC

Experimental and Numerical Research on the Splitting Capacity of European Beech Beams Loaded Perpendicular to the Grain by Connections: Influence of Different Geometrical Parameters. Appl. Sci. 2024, 14(2), 900.

Abstract In the present work, single- and double-dowel joints following different geometric configurations are experimentally and numerically investigated to derive the splitting behaviour of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.), one of the most widespread hardwood species in Europe for structural purposes.

Abstract This work explores the design and digital fabrication of elastic timber gridshells integrating principal meshes. These networks guarantee, among others, planar faces discretization, node offset properties and orthogonal meetings of the components what simplifies the joining solution for what
