Multiscale Spatiotemporal Characterization of Embodied Environmental Performance of Building Structures in Geneva from 1850 to 2018
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf, Serena Vanbutsele
Load-bearing systems in buildings, significant in material use and embodied greenhouse gas emissions (EGHGE), have lacked detailed analysis on their environmental and functional relationships over time and space. This study evaluates the environmental impa ...
2024Automated planning for the construction of laterally resistant masonry walls using irregular stones
Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos
The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...
2023Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments
Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac
In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...
2023Zürich Stadtspital Triemli Personalhäuser – Resource assessment of structural elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Julie Rachel Devènes
The Triemli Personalhäuser are three equal 15-story buildings located on the Zürich Triemli Stadtspital campus and erected between 1964 and 1969. Cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and walls form the building cores and their surrounding corridors ...
EPFL2022Experimental investigation of strength, stiffness and drift capacity of rubble stone masonry walls
Katrin Beyer, Amir Rezaie, Michele Godio
There is limited available research on rubble stone masonry walls, which are vulnerable under seismic loading. This paper presents an experimental campaign of cyclic shear compression tests on six large-scale walls of this topology. The effect of the axial ...
