Folded shapes with Super-Light Structures
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2011
The use of folded shapes in structures has become more common, but it still costs problems because
of construction issues and bending moments. The present paper deals with how the newly patented
structural concept Super-Light structures (SLS) can be used to create folded shapes. SLS gives
lighter structures and can lead to simpler erection because of the introduction of prefabricated
elements. The paper regards two geometries using the SLS concept and compares their static and
structural behaviour. Furthermore, material use is compared to a traditional concrete structure for
the examined geometries. For both geometries it is found that they are structurally possible and both
of them have a considerable material reduction compared to a traditional concrete structure.
