Lapin has constructed a multiplicative spectral sequence from a deformation of an -algebra. In particular, as noted by the same author, one can apply this construction to a deformation induced by a filtration of an -algebra. A question that naturally appea ...
The science of adhesives and adhesion for structural connections has undergone significant development during the last few decades - and successfully so in a wide variety of industries. Recent applications of structural bonding are being adopted in the con ...
In structural engineering, folded surface structures present one of the concepts for construction of self supporting column free systems. They utilize structural benefits of folding to achieve material saving and improve structural efficiency. The folding ...
The research consists of three successive and interdependent parts. The 1st part seeks to reconstruct the typological evolution of primary schools and their associated daylighting strategies between 1945 and 2015 in Switzerland – a country widely recognize ...
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 ...
Aware of its heavy environmental impact, the construction industry is on the lookout for new tools that provide a closer control of the end performance of buildings, e.g. the energy and volume of materials that they demand and their ability to be repaired ...
Buildings are increasingly required to be efficient not just in their operation, but from construction to demolition. Thus, interest in natural construction materials with low embodied environmental impacts has increased, (re)inventing materials and compon ...
The purpose of this paper is to look back on some valuable accomplishments at the beginning of the 20th century, built in Stockholm (1916-1930) and Vienna (1919-1933). Far from a mere process of revising history, those first dwelling attempts demonstrate h ...
Recent years has seen profound changes in building technologies both in Europe and worldwide. With the emergence of Smart Grid and Smart City concepts, the Smart Building has attracted considerable attention and rapid development. The introduction of novel ...
Designers are faced with many options on material and technical solutions during the design phase of the building. Different studies proposing solutions and guidelines are presented in the literature. They help to guide the building project toward low CO2- ...
