Reinforcement learning for scaffold-free construction of spanning-structures

Maryam Kamgarpour, Stefana Parascho, Gabriel Rémi Vallat, Anna Maria Maddux, Jingwen Wang

In construction robotics, a conventional design-to-fabrication work-flow starts with designing a structure, followed by task and robotic motion planning, and ultimately, fabrication. However, this approach can prove unsuccessful, as we may only discover th ...

Experimental Study to Validate an Improved Approach to Design Acceleration-Sensitive Nonstructural Components

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Nonstructural components in buildings can be subjected to very large acceleration and deformation demands during earthquakes. This is particularly true for flexible components that are tuned or nearly tuned to one of the modal frequencies of the supporting ...

Rhodanian Neighborhoods in Transition: Towards an Integrative Strategy Facilitating Decision-Making for New Sustainable Fluvio-Neighborhoods

Martine Laprise, Sara Sonia Formery Regazzoni

In the changing history of city-river relationships, cities are today questioning strategies for “reconciliation”. Thus, rather degraded sites like riverside brownfields represent an important potential for the creation of new sustainable fluvio-neighborho ...
