Although recent advances in the field of robotics have greatly increased robotic capabilities for several applications, autonomous robots are still in their infancy regarding their support of onsite construction. Unlike production robots that are used, for ...
The holistic nature of sustainability has radically transformed architectural and urban design practices. On the one hand, it enforces the need for simple, efficient, graphical assessment tools to support communication among the stakeholders. On the other ...
Selected applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich structural elements in building and bridge construction are discussed. It is shown how in building construction this technology enables the integration of functions such as load-bearing capac ...
The recent re-assessment of the seismic hazard in Europe led for many regions of low to moderate seismicity to an increase in the seismic demand. As a consequence, several modern unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, constructed with reinforced concrete (R ...
In this paper, we present a methodology for estimating the protection levels of critical equipment against IEMI. We apply the method to a wireless communication infrastructure, but it can be applied to any critical infrastructure. The required protection l ...
The costing of the CAMEA spectrometer as proposed, involving the prices of guides and shielding, the spectrometer itself and the key pieces of sample environment equipment needed to fulfill the science goals of CAMEA, is estimated at 19.519 M€, which shoul ...
Hydropeaking is a major issue for storage hydropower plants. Hydropeaking can affect negatively the aquatic environment along river streams. For several hydropower plants studies which analyse measures to reduce the surge effect are currently under prepara ...
Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...
CAMEA is a new instrument concept so it is possible that the construction could or maintenance of the instrument would be hampered by technical details. In order to prevent this a technical predesign have been performed. This is not a final technical solut ...
Starting from the assumption of a future where the use of cars will be limited in dense urban areas, and thus streets could be used for innovative transport modes, this project investigates a system based on accelerated moving walkways (AMW). Differently f ...
