Mechanical properties of composite materials and alloys are strongly influenced by the intrinsic mechanical properties of the reinforcing phases they contain; however, due to the irregular shape and small size of particulate reinforcements, measuring their ...
This work studies the effect on Embodied Energy (EE) of concrete when Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is partially substituted with natural Pozzolanic Volcanic Ash (VA) at the material and the building scale. The work aims to demonstrate potential improveme ...
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...
The audiovisual communications laboratory (lcav.epfl.ch) is looking for students for the development of an interferential hyperspectral camera, as part of a semester project. It involves building, testing and improving, in collaboration with the scientific ...
For the design of SFRC members, the most fundamental material property is its post cracking residual tensile strength. When relying on physical models to describe structural behaviour under load, the material laws must first be accurately established. If t ...

At the turn of the 19th century, the production and use of concrete were limited by the unavailability of raw materials to produce good cement in several places. From that time onwards, the progress of chemistry and a number of empirical discoveries opened ...
Device for testing a material response, such as a tissue response, to a compound; said device comprising material impedance measuring means which are adapted to measure the material impedance at the compound action site. ...
Testing of critical PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programs remains a challenging task for control system engineers as it can rarely be automated. This paper proposes a model-based approach which uses the BIP (Behavior, Interactions and Priorities) fr ...
This deliverable, entitled guidelines, is the third outcome of SaPPART COST Action, a European network of scientists and stakeholders that aims to promote smart use of GNSS technology in the field of intelligent road transport and mobility. It discusses th ...
A setup for transferring 2D materials was design and assembled. Key features of the setup are: (i) microscope and translational/rotational stages for aligning 2D material samples and target substrates, (ii) force sensor for force controlled transfers and ( ...
