Absolute Beginners: Living as a Knowledge Worker, from the Parents’ Home to Collective Living
A synthesis of the PhD research work on the New Forms of Dwelling (Nuove Forme dell'Abitare), this article traces a short genealogy of the knowledge worker vis-à-vis the history of communal housing. The text discusses three case studies: the campus type, t ...
Jovis2020Using Regularized Linear-Regression Surrogate Models for Accurate Probabilistic Structural Identification
Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai
Model-based data interpretation has the potential to increase knowledge of structural behavior and support asset management. Models are usually conservative and contain many parameters and sources of systematic uncertainty, which need to be taken into acco ...
AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS2019Measurement data interpretation and prediction for optimal management of bridges
For many developed countries, the asset management of aging infrastructure continues to present challenges and risks. Around the world, built-environment assets such as bridges, require functional changes and future-proofing in order to accommodate new and ...
EPFL2019Model-Based Occupant Tracking Using Slab-Vibration Measurements
Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira
Sensor-based occupant tracking has the potential to enhance knowledge of the utilization of buildings. Occupancy-tracking strategies using footstep-induced floor vibrations may be beneficial for thermal-load prediction, security enhancement, and care-givin ...
2019Is there a relationship between footstep-impact locations and measured signal characteristics?
Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira
Building utilization can be enhanced by tracking occupants. Non-intrusive tracking of occupants using floor-vibration measurements is beneficial for many smart-building applications such as energy consumption, security enhancement, and care-giving. Also, u ...
ACM2019Accurate and efficient interpretation of load-test data for asset-management
Increasing demand for new infrastructure and ageing of existing infrastructure has made management of infrastructure a key challenge of this century. Replacement of all ageing civil infrastructure is economically and environmentally unsustainable. Civil in ...
EPFL2019Identification of Train Wheel Flat Accounting for Measurement and Modeling Uncertainties
In railway systems, wear-induced wheel flats (out-of-roundness wheel shape) are among the most common local surface defects. They reduce the train ride comfort, increase fatigue risk and raise safety concerns. A good knowledge of wheel flats (presence and ...
2019Data-Interpretation Methodologies for Practical Asset-Management
Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai
Monitoring and interpreting structural response using structural-identification methodologies improves understanding of civil-infrastructure behavior. New sensing devices and inexpensive computation has made model-based data interpretation feasible in engi ...
2019Measurement-based support for post-earthquake assessment of buildings
Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland
After a damaging earthquake, assessment of the residual seismic capacity is required for large parts of the building stock. Increased vulnerability of structures together with the threat of immediate aftershocks call for rapid and objective decision making ...
