Structural Bionic Systems in Civil Engineering

摘要

The research paper presents the issues related to organic, bionic and biomimetic architecture and how well-integrated are they with modern methods of construction. Throughout the ages man driven by curiosity and imagination learned how to harvest and use many of nature's perfect solutions. Constructions of modern times not only astonish us by their form and functionality, but also nowadays buildings and constructions promote harmony between human habitation and the natural world. The reason for such actions is both searching for new solutions, as well as the improvement of novelty in engineering design. The search for efficient structural forms covered in the article is an attempt to discuss the optimization of structures in the field of bionic morphology and geometry - the objective function is the mass distribution and volume of construction material. The work also includes three simplified numerical analysis's of static models and their design possibilities of applying natures solutions.
