Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”
