From concrete waste to walls An investigation of reclamation and digital technologies for new load-bearing structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Maxence Grangeot

Our research explores opportunities in using unaltered concrete rubbles from demolition for the digital construction of structural walls. Through research by iterative making, we identify relevant upcycling processes and design strategies and explore new t ...

A new perspective on the punching resistance of edge columns with and without shear reinforcement applying refined measurement techniques

Aurelio Muttoni, Diego Hernández Fraile

Despite edge columns being instrumental components of flat slabs, most punching research has focused on internal connections. Several particularities of edge columns, such as load eccentricity and moment transfer, require additional experimental investigat ...

Stick-slip phenomena and Schallamach waves captured using reversible cohesive elements

Jean-François Molinari, Thibault Didier Roch, Evelyne Pélagie Ringoot

Reversibility is of paramount importance in the correct representation of surface peeling in various physical settings, ranging from motility in nature, to gripping devices in robotic applications, and even to sliding of tectonic plates. Modeling the detac ...

Transition from a radial to a 3D buoyancy-driven hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

Magmatic dikes are a naturally occurring type of fluid-driven fractures (Rivalta et al. 2015) propagating in the lithosphere due to buoyant forces emerging from the density difference between the host material and the injected fluid (more precisely the dif ...

How does seismic anisotropy evolve as a function of mineralogical and textural changes across ductile shear zones? – an experimental and modelling approach

Henri Joseph François Gilles Leclère

Strain localization and the development of ductile shear zones in the middle and lower crust play major roles in lithosphere dynamics. Geophysical imaging of ductile shear zones is an issue for ore geology, for the understanding of the lithosphere rheology ...

Load-strengthening versus load-weakening faulting in gouge-bearing faults: insights from triaxial saw-cut experiments

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Carolina Giorgetti, Iskander Louhichi

Brittle reactivation of pre-existing faults is theoretically constrained by their friction, the stress field orientation, and magnitude. Thus, following the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, the increase in tectonic shear stress leads to the reactivation of ...

Under-ice convection dynamics in a boreal lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Sébastien Lavanchy, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

We investigated radiatively driven under-ice convection in Lake Onego (Russia) during 3 consecutive late winters. In ice-covered lakes, where the temperature of water is below the temperature of maximum density, radiatively driven heating in the upper wate ...
