Properties and the construction method of Orthogonal Differential Vector Signaling Codes are disclosed which are tolerant of order-reversal, as may occur when physical routing of communications channel wires causes the bus signal order to be reversed. Oper ...
Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...
Cet ouvrage présente une compilation des résultats obtenus par les étudiants inscrits à l'unité d'enseignement niveau Master “Béton. Matière de construction” à l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne en 2013. L'unité d'enseignement est dispensée dans le ...
The Laboratory of Construction Materials in Lausanne has been studying the alkali-silica reaction for more than 10 years, advancing the understanding of the reaction, and also producing microstructural models which can be used to predict quantitatively the ...
Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...
Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...
