R-Funicularity of Analytical Shells
2020Between the ’50s and the ’70s of the last century a class of analytical forms, the so called parabolic velaroid surfaces, were widely used to design thin reinforced concrete shells due to their ability to equilibrate design loads by pure membrane actions.

In Chap. 3 it was shown that the funicular is a powerful tool that has multiple levels of meaning. It has a physical interpretation, namely the shape that a chain would take on due to multiple loads. That shape can then be used to identify the precise location of the resultant of these loads, by intersecting the starting and ending slopes of the ...

Funicular Shapes for Submerged Arches
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2002This paper is concerned with the determination of the funicular shapes of submerged arches. A universal set of curves is generated, from which the shapes of funicular arches under hydrostatic forces may be extracted. The method of extraction of the funicular arch shape depends on the specified design parameters such as the water depth, arch height, and

The funicular polyhedron, the three-dimensional figure bounded by the links of a net supported at some of its knots (nodes), is treated theoretically by a new method in two stages. A geometrically allowable figure, with assumed coordinates of all supported nodes and of some others, is first computed consistently with the postulate that all the links ...

This dissertation investigates the design of funicular floors, with attention to their role in the building system, compliance with structural building codes and construction requirements. It derives its motivation from the need to develop more sustainable structural solutions to decrease the environmental impact of the construction industry, and aims ...

Funicular analysis of masonry vaults
Computers & Structures, 1999Abstract This paper describes a new technique for the limit state analysis of arcuate masonry vaults. The technique involves modelling the principal stresses in a masonry vault as a discrete network of forces. This network of forces is constrained to lie within the masonry vault and be in equilibrium with the loads applied to the vault.

Commissural And Funicular Neurons
1995Abstract Cells in the gray matter of the spinal cord that we have referred to as ventral commissural neurons are characterized by an axon that courses ventrally and then transversely to cross the midline near the ventral, white commissure before entering the ventral funiculus on the opposite side of the cord and becoming one of the ...

About the funicularity of Velaroidal Shells
2019We present some preliminary results of a funicularity analysis of the so called Velaroidal surfaces, a class of analytical forms widely used between the'50s and the'70s to define de shape of thin reinforced concrete shells. After recalling the membrane theory of shells, we illustrate how mentioned analytical forms can be obtained as an approximate ...

Commissural and Funicular Cells
1999Ventral commissural cells are certain elements of the spinal gray matter, with axons coursing ventrally, then crossing transversally the midline at the level of the white commissure, and continuing as fibers of the opposite ventral funiculus in the region that we have called the commissural fascicle.
