Templates for 3D Object Pose Estimation Revisited: Generalization to New Objects and Robustness to Occlusions

Mathieu Salzmann, Vincent Lepetit, Yinlin Hu, Van Nguyen Nguyen, Yang Xiao

We present a method that can recognize new objects and estimate their 3D pose in RGB images even under partial occlusions. Our method requires neither a training phase on these objects nor real images depicting them, only their CAD models. It relies on a s ...

Failure mechanism of fine-grained soil-structure interface for energy piles

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera

The response of the soil-structure interface can significantly affect the performance of any geotechnical structure. Thermal cycles are a new factor that influence the response to all structures that have an energy function in addition to the structural on ...

Assessing and enhancing foldability in designed proteins

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Stéphane Rosset, Che Yang

Recent advances in protein-design methodology have led to a dramatic increase in reliability and scale. With these advances, dozens and even thousands of designed proteins are automatically generated and screened. Nevertheless, the success rate, particular ...

Review of degradation and failure phenomena in photovoltaic modules

The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradat ...

Anchorage of shear reinforcement in beams and slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Qianhui Yu, Frédéric Monney

Anchorage of shear reinforcement, such as links or stirrups, can be performed by providing hooks, bends or heads at their ends, by welding transverse reinforcement or by closing open stirrups with pins. Hooks and bends, also used to enhance the anchorage o ...

Shear Response of Wet Weak Carbonate Rock/Grout Interfaces Under Cyclic Loading

Eleni Stavropoulou

The development and construction of offshore wind farms requires the correct estimation of the friction that can be mobilised at the rock/grout interface. In conventional studies, the shear behaviour of a joint is usually investigated with laboratory tests ...

Study on Mechanical Performance of Prestressed UHPFRC U-Beam Bridges

Eugen Brühwiler

The forms of U-shaped UHPFRC beams have not been investigated for the highway footbridge. Compared with the traditional section forms, the U-shaped UHPFRC beams can reduce the material consumption under the condition of providing the same bearing capacity. ...

Casting position effects on bond performance of reinforcement bars

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

The phenomena associated with the consolidation of fresh concrete (bleeding and plastic settlement) are commonly considered significant for the bond performance of reinforcement. However, rules to take care of such influence for design are not consistent a ...

Uncertainties in the Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Buildings

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Igor Tomic

Seismic assessments of historical masonry buildings are affected by several sources of epistemic uncertainty. These are mainly the material and the modelling parameters and the displacement capacity of the elements. Additional sources of uncertainty lie i ...

Web buckling mechanism of pultruded GFRP bridge deck profiles subjected to concentrated load

Congzhe Wang, Yun Sun, Yuqing Liu

The web's local buckling is a major failure type of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck subjected to concentrated wheel loads. Three kinds of external actions-that is, in-plane shear force, local compressive force and bending moment ...
