Overview

Randomized trial explores shape adaptability in circular buildings, suggesting improved resilience and efficiency.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the kinematics and load behavior of reconfigurable circular building structures using fewer actuators.
  • Implemented a vertical effective crank-slider mechanism in a spatial circular linkage structure.
  • Analyzed kinematics for three shapes: two axisymmetric and one nonaxisymmetric elevation.
  • Performed finite-element analysis considering self-weight and wind loads on the structure.
  • Demonstrated effective adaptability of the structure to various shapes under different loads.
  • Kinematic analysis revealed increased flexibility and controllability with fewer actuators.
  • Finite-element results indicated improved load-deformation behavior across configurations.
