SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AT LARGE SCALE CASE STUDY: THE CANTON OF BASEL-STADT
Large-scale seismic risk assessment requires knowledge of the vulnerability of buildings. Under the action of an earthquake, buildings with different properties also behave differently. Since it is not possible to analyze each building individually, it is ...
2020Constructional method of UHPC on steel deck of long span suspension bridge and in-situ experimental test
The Second Dongting Lake (SDTL) Bridge is the longest steel truss girder suspension bridge in China, which has a main span of 1480 m. To alleviate deterioration issues in the orthotropic steel deck (OSD), the steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) li ...
EPFL2020Intermolecular Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C-H Arylation of Heteroarenes
Nicolai Cramer, Qui-Hien Nguyen
Atropisomeric (hetero)biaryls are motifs with increasing significance in ligands, natural products, and biologically active molecules. The straightforward construction of the stereogenic axis by efficient C-H functionalization methods is extremely rare and ...
2020A Calculation Method for Interconnected Timber Elements Using Wood-Wood Connections
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet
Wood-wood connections, widely used in the past, have been progressively replaced by steel fasteners in timber constructions. Currently, they can be manufactured and implemented more efficiently thanks to digital fabrication techniques. In addition, with th ...
2020Vulnérabilité sismique à grande échelle de la ville de Lausanne
The assessment of the risk maps for the seismic vulnerability at large scale is based on the vulnerability of each building. In order to determine these vulnerabilities, it is first required to assign to each building its construction class. The constructi ...
2020An Explicit Construction of Optimal Streaming Codes for Channels With Burst and Arbitrary Erasures
This paper presents a new construction of error correcting codes which achieves optimal recovery of a streaming source over a packet erasure channel. The channel model considered is the sliding-window erasure model, with burst and arbitrary losses, introdu ...
2020Blind predictions of shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
In many historical centers in Europe, stone masonry is part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines missing. Advance ...
2020A Contribution to the Design of Textile Reinforced Concrete Structures
The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...
EPFL2020Measurement-system design for structural identification
In developed countries, the management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden re ...
EPFL2020Experimental investigations on the load-carrying capacity of digitally produced wood-wood connections
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet
The rise of digital fabrication has increased the use of wood-wood connections inspired by traditional carpentry in modern timber constructions. With recent developments on standard construction systems, the mechanical behavior of such joints for in-plane ...
