Engineers often decide to measure structures upon signs of damage to determine its extent and its location. Measurement locations, sensor types and numbers of sensors are selected based on judgment and experience. Rational and systematic methods for evalua ...
The last decade has witnessed a fundamental change in the role of network theory. Side by side with the increasing relevance of interdisciplinarity, this ensemble of mathematical tools and methods has known such a success and such a wide range of different ...
In contemporary debates about sustainable development, vernacular architecture plays an important role. Presenting itself as a dictionary of man’s constructive logic, it declares with no uncertainty its own usefulness, its connection to the soil, to the cl ...
As the range of applications for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil engineering constantly increases, there is more and more concern with regard to their performance in critical environments. The fire behavior of composite material ...
Various areas of a highway structure are studied regarding their level of exposure to the surrounding microclimate. Climate conditions from meteorological stations and vehicle kinetics are used to determine zones that are exposed to salt products and clima ...
Presented here is a numerical investigation of the influence of non-uniform soil conditions on a prototype concrete bridge with three bents (four span) where soil beneath bridge bents are varied between stiff sands and soft clay. A series of high-fidelity ...
Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCCs) are layered ceramic based components, which - in recent years - are increasingly used as high precision electronic devices (e.g. mobile and automotive technologies) in highly loaded (temperatures, inertia forces, e ...
We suggest a control based method to uncover the structure (i.e., the dynamics of each system, the coupling direction, and coupling functions) of coupled systems. We show that driving a coupled system to steady states can reveal the underlying controlled c ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a material characterised by significantly improved mechanical and durability properties compared to other concretes. In recent years, an important research effort has been made to identify approp ...
Soluble oligomers are potent toxins in many neurodegenerative diseases, but little is known about the structure of soluble oligomers and their structure-toxicity relationship. Here we prepared on-pathway oligomers of the 140-residue protein alpha-synuclein ...
