The University of Sydney School of Civil Engineering CIVIL 3811- Tutorial Questions Week 9 (Assignment 2 – Part A) Innovation and design with Bamboo grid shells Design a bamboo grid shell roof system (sub-structure). https://viejournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40327-017-0051-4 Your innovations in designing a grid shell and presenting the relevant technical analysis are significantly important. You can consider the following instructions to prepare your report. Item Explanation Suggested Mark Introduction Discuss the main concept of your design and the originality of your suggested models 3 marks Technical analysis Demonstrate that your structure is technically sound. You can consider the following papers which are on CANVAS 1) Tahmasebinia et al, 2020 2) Tahmasebinia et al, 2021 Note: You don’t need to undertake a buckling and dynamic analysis 7 marks Design optimization Demonstrate an optimization approch by Present and compare different developed models . 5 Marks Exceptional Design Substantially Different from available models Present a novel design 3 Extra Bonus Marks Note : 1) Check CANVAS (Modules – Week 9) . There are two STRAND 7 files (CASE 1 and CASE 2) . These files can help you to get an idea of how to develop the relevant geometry in STRAND 7. You can also consider the available files as a bench mark . Use either AUTOCAD or Online Editor to create the initial geometry in the STRAND 7. 2) The reported material properties in the provided journal papers can be used for modeling bamboo. The following published papers a) Tahmasebinia et al, 2020 b) Tahmasebinia et al, 2021, are available on CANVAS. 3) You can follow the same reported concept in the available journal papers to prepare your final report. You don’t need to undertake a buckling and dynamic analysis.
