Thin-walled laminated structural elements

Abstract

The design of structures composed of thin-walled lamellas formed in such a way to serve as load-bearing space elements is described. The author presents the procedure for linking a number of differently curved typical elements in order to form load bearing structures that may be used for various purposes, e.g. as screens for road protection against wind action, as roof structures, etc. The use of laminated elements for the construction of cellular wind screens applied on roads, as well as for cylindrical roof structures, is presented.
