construction sector on climate change. The most common
engineering solution for modern timber buildings with large
spans is glued laminate timber (glulam). This project proposes
a tool for a topological optimised geometry generator of
structural elements made of glulam that can be used for
building a database of topologically optimised glulam beams.
In turn, this can be further used to train machine learning
models that can embed the topologically optimised geometry
and structural behavior information. By Daniela Țăpuși,
