The use of expandable structures in the field of building began in the 1960s, based on the pioneering work of Emilio Pérez Piñero. They underwent significant developments at the end of the 20th century, with typologies ...

Deployable structures are a good solution for emergency buildings, due to their lightness and compact nature which means they can be transported to where they are needed. Nevertheless, the deployable structures studied to ...

[Abstract]This study describes a self-tensioning system in which the gravitational loads acting on a horizontal structural element are automatically converted to a post-tensioning force on that component. The self-tensioning ...

[Abstract] Deployable structures are an ideal solution for emergency buildings because of their lightness and compactness, allowing them to be transported to wherever they are needed. Generally the most frequent solutions ...

[Abstract] The use of deployable structures in architecture began in the 1960s, based on the pioneering work of Emilio Pérez Piñero. It has had an interesting development using bundle or scissor modules, but with solutions ...

[Resumen] La atención a la evacuación del agua de lluvia y a la protección de la estructura ante los agentes meteorológicos ha dado lugar a un conjunto de propuestas de estructuras desplegables de aspas sobre planta ...

Las estructuras desplegables de barras basadas en aspas están siendo investigadas intensamente y ofrecen muctias posibilidades de utilización en arquitectura. De ellas, las que toman formas que puedan cerrar recintos ...

[Abstract] Bias deployable grids are meshes with two directions of rotation on the ground plan with respect to the edges. They offer benefits such as three-dimensional resistance with supports around the entire perimeter ...

[Resumen] Las iglesias mozárabes plantean numerosos puntos dudosos, empezando por el propio concepto de mozárabe, muy discutido por los especialistas. Uno de ellos es su orientación, que tiene algunas características propias ...
