In the frame of the Generation IV initiative, different structural material candidates are investigated at the Paul Scherrer Institute. These are oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, intermetallic materials and ceramic composite materials. The respo ...

This paper presents the theoretical basis and the main results of an analytical model that describes the pre– and post–yield response of bond in reinforced concrete, as well as its influence on the behavior of structural members. The model is based on a nu ...
Civil engineers are more and more often confronted with constructions in urban environment. It is then essential to be able to accurately assess the initial state, and the evolution of the safety during construction stages. While traditional geotechnical e ...

Identifying the neural underpinnings of socio-emotional deficits in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) may elucidate recurrent psychosis in affected individuals. In the current study, we investigate volumetric changes in 22q11DS to the fusiform gyrus (FG) ...
We report the solution NMR structure of a designed dimetal-binding protein, di-Zn(II) DFsc, along with a secondary refinement step employing molecular dynamics techniques. Calculation of the initial NMR structural ensemble by standard methods led to distor ...
For recurrent service providers (fast-food, entertainment, medical care,...), retaining loyal customers is obviously a key issue. The customers' loyalty essentially depends on their service satisfaction defined via an ad-hoc utility function. Among several ...
In the summer of 2005, after eight years of use as a temporary bridge during the winter, the Pontresina Bridge for pedestrians was transported to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne for a detailed assessment of the structural safety, service ...
Alexandre Sarrasin (1895-1976) studied at Zürich Federal Swiss Institute of Technology (ETH) from 1913 to 1918. Despite First World War's conflicts surrounding the neutral Switzerland, the intellectual climate inside ETH was cosmopolitan and liberal. As un ...
The present research on cut-and-cover tunnels gives a theoretical contribution to the understanding of the behaviour of these structures up to their ultimate limit state. A simplified method inspired on the convergence-confinement method is investigated an ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are being investigated as possible structural material for components of future nuclear power plants. The dispersoids in the matrix (yttria particles) serve as pinning points for moving dislocations, and thereby i ...
