Damage Assessment of Stone Masonry Piers Using Imaged Surface Cracks
After an earthquake, the structural safety of all buildings in the affected region needs to be assessed. This is currently done by a visual inspection of each building. This approach is very time-consuming and requires a significant amount of expertise fro ...
EPFL2021Double-layered timber plate shell. International Journal of Space Structures
Yves Weinand, Mark Pauly, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Mira Dedijer
This article presents a new lightweight construction system for doubly curved shells made from timber plates, inspired by the masonry vaults of Eladio Dieste. The system was developed for a specific case-study project, and general applications to other fre ...
2017Creep of Sandwich Panels with Longitudinal Reinforcement Ribs for Civil Engineering Applications: Experiments and Composite Creep Modeling
Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido
Composite sandwich panels with reinforcement ribs or webs are being increasingly considered for structural applications in civil engineering. Such panels are prone to creep when subjected to significant permanent loads and therefore the effects of this phe ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2017Reciprocal diagrams: Innovative applications of past theories
The geometric relationships between a structural configuration and its internal force distribution have not received much attention for nearly hundred years. Directly stemming from the most fundamental principles of statics, the underlying theories were br ...
2016Wall-Roughness Effects on Flow and Scouring in Curved Channels with Gravel Beds
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca
Due to a complex three-dimensional flow pattern, the outer banks of river bends are predisposed to erosion. When endangering civil structures, preventing measures to mitigate this erosion are thus required. Vertical ribs at protection walls for scour reduc ...
Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers2016Analysis and design of an innovative solution for tunnels using elastic-plastic stress fields
Aurelio Muttoni, Stefano Campana
For the conception of cut-and-cover tunnel, two solutions are usually considered to define the cross-section : an arch/vault or a frame. The vault enables an optimal static behavior in case of a large soil cover and symmetric loads. However, this solution ...
Proceeding of the 8th fib-PhD Symposium2010Développement d'un habitat groupé basé sur (MCIC) en périphérie émergente de Prague (République Tchèque)
C'est après avoir analysé spécifiquement la région de Prague en République Tchèque, zone limite des climats continentaux et tempérés qu'a été développée une série de "Méthodes et Conditions Idéales de Construction" (M.C.I.C) pour le cas d'édifices résident ...
2009Effect of inclined ribs on the Aero-Thermal performance of a trailing edge cavity with crossing jets
Emanuele Facchinetti, Tony Arts
The present contribution is devoted to the aero-thermal experimental study of a trapezoidal cross-section model, reproducing a trailing edge cooling cavity with one rib-roughened wall and slots along two opposite walls. Four rib geometries are compared to ...
2009Bits through ARQs: Spectrum sharing with a primary packet system
We study a problem motivated by cognitive radio in which the primary is a packet system that employs ARQ feedback. A secondary system is allowed to transmit in the same frequency band provided it ensures that the primary attains a specified target rate. Th ...

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 ...
