Design of New Low-Carbon Floor Systems by Reusing Cut Cast-in-Place Concrete Pieces
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola
As floors typically account for the largest share of a building embodied carbon footprint, new strategies to build low-carbon floors must be developed and implemented. Among these strategies, the reuse of existing components is a promising circular approac ...
Novus Press2023Impact of the ventilated air-space behind traditional (passive) and BIPV (active) façades on the thermo-hydrodynamic performance of the building wall structures
For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture-resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can contribute ...
EPFL2022Review on ventilation rates in the ventilated air-spaces behind common wall assemblies with external cladding
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can enhance the ...
2020Building Duration / El Portico de los Huespedes
Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Sony Devabhaktuni
El Portico de los Huéspedes is a pedagogical, design-research project that tests the possibility of an open-ended architecture, where duration links between past and future. It is a work of architecture as becoming: ‘work’ meaning the structure, rhythms an ...
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture2019Effect of Modeling Assumptions on the Earthquake-Induced Losses and Collapse Risk of Steel-Frame Buildings with Special Concentrically Braced Frames
Dimitrios Lignos, Seong-Hoon Hwang
This paper quantifies the collapse risk and earthquake-induced economic losses of steel-frame buildings with special concentrically braced frames designed in urban California. A probabilistic building-specific loss estimation methodology that can explicitl ...
Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers2017UNIVERSITY RESIDENCES AS A TOOL FOR PUBLIC HOUSING REGENERATION
Nowadays in Rome public housing suburbs face several critical issues, both physical and social: buildings obsolescence, state of neglect of open spaces, inhabitant’s sense of segregation and lack of social inclusion. These critical issues cause a huge redu ...
Centro Interuniversitario di Ricerca TESIS, Università degli Studi di Firenze2016Real-Time GNSS Software Receiver Optimized for General Purpose Microprocessors
A satellite navigation system (like GPS) allows an user to determine its own position everywhere and anytime on Earth. The process of calculating the position is relatively simple (use of trilateration). The main issue is to obtain and decode the transmitt ...
University of Neuchâtel2010Fast, Accurate and Consistent Modeling of Drainage and Surrounding Terrain
We propose an automated approach to modeling drainage channels and, more generally, linear features that lie on the terrain|from multiple images. It produces models of the features and of the surrounding terrain that are accurate and consistent and require ...
