GridaDIGtion 2021-2024
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

Abstract The CLT-concrete slab solution contributes to notably improve several aspects where CLT shows some disadvantages related to its low stiffness or its low natural vibration frequency. This can affect the user’s comfort or even the structural integrity against resonance
