Abstract
This paper investigates the potential benefits of using aerospace design methodologies in the new forms of lightweight dwelling construction which have received growing attention in recent years. The structural efficiency of new types of shear wall panels of various plan-form geometry are investigated along with comparisons of the more usual rectangular type. The paper also discusses the likely benefits to the construction industry of adopting panels of this type when used in combination with recent developments in cold pressing and press-joining.
