This paper analyses Maillart’s Vessy Bridge from a design point of view using thrust lines. As it has previously been shown that Robert Maillart used graphic statics to design the line and the structural features of his bridges, it proves appropriate to re ...
W-BAN applications have been around since a long time, but have been experiencing a tremendous growth during the last decades. This results in the need of dedicated antennas, which are designed and optimized taking into account their lossy surroundings. De ...
Unpleasant Design book is a collection of different research approaches to contemporary urban phenomenon in which social control and is inherent in the design of objects and places. With many examples to be found across cities worldwide, Unpleasant Design ...
Since the power consumption of different electrical appliances in a household can be recorded by individual smart meters, it becomes possible to start considering in more details the interactions of the residents with those devices throughout the day. Appl ...
In this work, we present the technological constrains and limitations in the design of ultra-thin body Junctionless Vertical Slit Field Effect Transistor (JL VeSFET). A design space involving the intrinsic off-current, the sub-threshold swing, and the drai ...
Traditionally architecture in Asia was not graphically represented or formalised, and relied on received knowledge being passed down from generation to generation. Stylianos Dritsas and Kang Shua Yeo describe the Heritage Buildings and Digital Tectonic res ...
This paper outlines the theoretical background of the punching shear provisions implemented in the fib Model Code 2010 and presents a practical example of its applica tion. It is the aim to explain the mechanical model that forms the basis of the punching ...
Despite the numerous existing design tools developed to support practitioners achieve energy performing buildings, practical use of those tools remains limited, in particular due to their restricted integration into the design process. This project is moti ...
This paper will present the current state of drainage systems in new and existing SBB-railway tunnels. The fundamental drainage concepts, their limits as well as the LCC will be considered. The problems linked with the water pressure, its quantity and chem ...
A recommender system is a Web technology that proactively suggests items of interest to users based on their objective behavior or explicitly stated preferences. Evaluations of recommender systems (RS) have traditionally focused on the performance of algor ...
