Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-05)Concrete contributes to 8% of global CO2 emission through reinforced concrete (RC) structural system. Unlike steel and timber structures, RC components are rarely reused due to the inseparable phase between concrete and ... -
In Tension: Computational exploration of the design space of tensile network structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-05)Cable and rope net structures are lightweight tensile systems and generally cannot resist compression or bending. Tensile network structures are often used to span long distances without intermediate supports and have ... -
Developing frameworks for an equitable future: from building decarbonization to generative modeling.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-05)In this thesis I develop computational frameworks to understand equity under two perspectives: building decarbonization policy and generative modeling. Part 1 - Equitable building decarbonization Buildings significantly ...
