Overview This dataset defines building blocks for composing floor slabs with a vast range of triangular and rectangular configurations for spans mainly between four and twelve meters. The shapes are generated at regular intervals for different resolutions: 0,1m, 0,2m, and 1.0m. This dataset is meant as a Benchmark Set definition for the project "Universal Timber Slab (UTS)" under deliverable D1.2.

Approach It is assumed that by combining the range of shapes described here, the basis for reproducing architectural floorplans is largely covered.

Data Structure This data format uses the BHoM framework. See: https://bhom.xyz/. It is possible to load the dataset with the core version of BHoM, even though a UTS BHoM Toolkit was used to organize the data. This approach ensures the data is recognized by our computational design method and aligns it with future developments. All data is stored in JSON files that contain BHoM objects.

Dataset Descriptions Triangular Slabs' datasets are generated by always defining the longest edge of a triangle, generating combinations of different edge lengths. Rectangular Slabs' datasets are generated by sampling the width and length of rectangular bays with the specified resolution in the defined range.
