Finite element modeling and analysis of a cardboard shelter

摘要

Constructing shelters from corrugated cardboard panels represents an innovative approach in the construction industry. The cardboard shelters can be used for permanent living or as temporary houses in post natural disaster events. Due to their light weight and also due to the ease of packing, cardboard sheets can be easily shipped to remote areas. This study includes a comprehensive stress analysis of a full-scale cardboard shelter subjected to different wind load conditions.
