COMPUTATIONAL STRATEGY| Dom-ino Version IV

After the experiment via three iterations, the research uses Maison Dom-ino by Le Cobusier (1914) as the target to make the comparison and to see the extent of material efficiency in the test of version three. From the drawing of Domino House, the slab thickness is around 40 centimeters. The core-section of the column is around 20 centi-meters. The volume is 69 cube meter, and the whole weight is 166 tons. In order to make the standard reference, we make the UHPC Dom-ino with the same composition by fixing the max displacement, and to evaluate the area of core-section from beams and columns. The analysis then got the result that UHPC Dom-ino only remains 45 tons with 90 square meter core-section of beams and 144 square meter core-section of col-umns. It reduces 75% of weight because of the property of the material, which

Due to the new proportion of the UHPC Dom-ino, Obviously, the test of Dom-ino version three remains redundancy. Because of the essential parts for horizontal slab are loop-blocks, which have larger core-section than actual structure need. The conse-quence of the comparison presents the more flexible resolution for horizontal composi-tion is required. On the other hand, as is common knowledge, architecture typically in-cludes a structural system and an enclosure system. The connotation of three Dom-ino above is trying to use blocks to create space. Some parts cannot be explained precisely as the structure or the enclosure parts. In order to reach economic use and compare to existing Domino system, the research should separate architecture as two parts such as skeleton(structure) and enclosure system.
