Managing infrastructure assets is challenging for developed countries because of demand for increases in capacity, the scarcity of economic and environmental resources as well as ageing. Due to conservative approaches to construction design and practice, i ...
Inspired by the introduction of Volumetric Modeling via volumetric representations (V-reps) by Massarwi and Elber in 2016, in this paper we present a novel approach for the construction of isogeometric numerical methods for elliptic PDEs on trimmed geometr ...
“Structural UHPFRC” stands for Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite material that is complemented by reinforcing and prestressing steel to enhance the resistance and durability of structural elements. Properties of impermeable, te ...
Distinct from recycling, reuse maintains the shape, energy, know-how, technology and cultural part embedded in a component to use it beyond an initial use into a new project without strongly altering it. The "hub" for research and resale of reusable constr ...
In recent years, retrofitting of steel structures has emerged as a major issue in structural engineering and construction management. As the adhesive bond is often the critical aspect controlling the actual performance of steel profiles externally strength ...
Depuis la fin du XXe siècle, la proportion de construction en bois dans le secteur du bâtiment n’a cessé d’augmenter en Suisse. Ceci est principalement dû à une prise de conscience des capacités de ce matériau. La ressource forestière helvète représente un ...
The Decision Aids for Tunneling are a very powerful tool in assisting decision makers. They have been developed and applied over decades. As popular as they have become in big tunneling projects, they remain complicated and less used for small tunnels. The ...
Shanghai, in the early twentieth century, was a big construction site and attractive experimental field for Western designers. Because of its significant location and international role, the construction activities contributed to some landmarks of the worl ...
Ce projet collaboratif entre chercheurs académiques et partenaires industriels vise le développement d’une méthode d’aide à la décision dans la planification urbaine. Appliquée sur le projet de quartier blueFactory à Fribourg, et mise en œuvre sous forme d ...
This paper investigates the structural performance of traditional moment-resisting interlocking timber joints for modern building construction. Gradually improved over generations, traditional Japanese and Chinese interlocking connections have proven struc ...
