Construire en sous-sol: un bilan économique
Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle
La construction souterraine n’est pas beaucoup plus coûteuse qu’en surface : telle est la thèse que soutiennent les auteurs de cette étude comparative de différents scénarios d’une construction fictive en surface ou souterraine. Elle devrait permettre de d ...
2020Embodied Energy and Lifecycle Costs: Questioning (Mis)conceptions about Underground Construction
Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle
In the construction community, underground construction is perceived as being significantly more costly and more energy-consuming than comparable surface construction. Although the literature is scarce, studies that have attempted to quantify this differen ...
2019Geology Basics for Engineers
Geology – Basics for Engineers (second edition) presents the physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth, the nature and the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, the action of water, how the Earth is transformed by various phen ...
CRC Press2018Données nouvelles sur la géologie des collines de Chiètres
La géologie des collines de Chiètres et de l’ancien sillon glaciaire du Rhône a été révisée. Les excavations de la couverture meuble de la carrière de Sous-Vent ont révélé une succession de dépôts où l’on identifie les débris de deux éboulements majeurs, d ...
2017Multiple resources and their sustainable development in Urban Underground Space
Aurèle Parriaux, Chao Liu, Huanqing Li
Traffic congestion and ground space scarcity are increasing the need to find more space in the urban underground. The demand-driven "top-down" planning of Urban Underground Space (UUS) is common worldwide. As natural resource, the endowments of UUS are dif ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016Underground Potential for Urban Sustainability: Mapping Resources and Their Interactions with the Deep City Method
Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle
In the process of urban growth, the underground is often only addressed once all surface alternatives have been exhausted. Experience shows that this can lead to unforeseen conflicts (e.g., subsidence, groundwater pollution) and to lost opportunities (e.g. ...
Mdpi Ag2016Geotypen : ein neues Konzept zur Optimierung geologischer Informationen für die Raumplanung
Aurèle Parriaux, Pascal Turberg
When we have to valorise the geological information for land planning or engineering applications, it is difficult to integrate the large complexity of the maps of the Swiss Geological Atlas at the scale of 1:25'000. The heterogeneity of the legends betwee ...
2015An Integrated Planning Concept for the Emerging Underground Urbanism: Deep City Method Part 1 Concept, process and application
Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Huanqing Li
Four underground resources have been seen as having a long-term potential to support sustainable urban development: underground space, groundwater, geomaterials and geothermal energy. Utilization of these resources proposes a new paradigm of economic devel ...
Elsevier2013An X-ray computed tomography-based index to characterize the quality of cataclastic carbonate rock samples
Aurèle Parriaux, Pascal Turberg, Reto Meuli, Vincent Labiouse, Pierre Guillaume Christe
X-ray computed tomography (XRCT) can reconstruct, in a nondestructive way and in three-dimension, the distribution of densities within opaque materials. Consequently, it provides an effective possibility to characterize the inner content of rock core sampl ...
2011GIS-based 3D modelling for landslide hazard assessment: increasing the objectivity of hazard maps.
Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot
Recent decades have been marked by many disasters caused by natural hazards.Gravitational phenomena in particular have resulted in several deaths and extensive damage to infrastructure. Nearly 10% of Swiss territory is considered unstable. It therefore req ...
