Abstract:

Even though Nordic glulam truss-bridges are at large extent standardized, applying dowels and parallel slotted-in steel plates, the process making them are still separated and slowed down by redundant work. This paper examines the potential of architects, engineers and manufacturers using a shared parametric framework when building truss-bridges. How could redundant work be automated and let designers spend more time on actual project development? How could collaboration between disciplines be improved using a parametric framework? An interdicipinary parametric framework might be the next step into mass customization in architectural engineering.
