y High specific power, high stowed packing efficiency, low processing cost, and high tolerance against environmental threats (high energy and charged particle radiation) make perovskite solar cell (PSC) a promising candidate for power generation in space. ...
Reinforced concrete (RC) U-shaped walls are a popular construction choice, commonly used to resist the lateral loads from wind and earthquakes. In many buildings, the center of stiffness of a floor is eccentric from the center of mass and the building will ...
Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) offers significant potential to address a variety of needs in bridge design, construction, and performance enhancement. Bridge owners have shown willingness to embrace novel solutions that could address specific challe ...
This study was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Sumusu Kono in the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) and Prof. Katrin Beyer from the Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics (EESD) laboratory in the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in ...
In this thesis, we developed a research direction that combines the theoretical concepts of complex networks with practical needs and applications in the field of transportation engineering.
As a first objective we analyzed the phenomenon of congestion pr ...

Braided rivers are highly dynamical systems characterized by varying network-like structures even under quasi-steady conditions. Understanding their dynamics is crucial in geomorphology and river engineering (e.g., river restoration in Alpine and piedmond ...
This paper examines the influence of framing action and slab continuity on the hysteretic behavior of composite steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) by means of high-fidelity continuum finite-element (CFE) analyses of two-bay subsystems and typical crucifo ...
The geotechnical construction industry is a major component of the overall construction sector and is strategically important in infrastructure development (transportation, flood and landslide protection, building foundations, waste disposal). Although ind ...
Tensegrity structure is a prestressed self-equilibrated system consisting of compressed struts and tensioned cables. Planar truss is one of the most common forms of engineering structures with a wide application. This paper proposes a new class of planar t ...
