Energy geotechnology: A new era for geotechnical engineering practice

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman

Energy geotechnology provides low carbon, cost-effective and local energy solu-tions to structures and infrastructures, which opens a new era for the geotechnical engineering practice, by extending the conventional role of structural design to the ...

Component reuse in structural design: emerging practices and tools for the circular economy

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Structural engineers play an increasing role in ensuring the transition towards a more sustainable construction sector: a) they are responsible for the design of the most resource- and energy-intensive part of buildings and infrastructure, and b) they regu ...

The emerging field of graph signal processing (GSP) allows one to transpose classical signal processing operations (e.g., filtering) to signals on graphs. The GSP framework is generally built upon the graph Laplacian, which plays a crucial role in studying ...

Grammar-based generation of trusses within non-convex domains

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

A force-driven generative grammar rule is proposed as a design exploration method for planar networks in static equilibrium within non-convex domains. The aim is to enrich the catalog of unconventional structural typologies. Empty or partial networks in eq ...

This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...

Over the past twenty years, an increasing amount of research has been performed to understand the multiphysical behaviour and to address the geotechnical and structural design of so-called energy piles, i.e. deep foundations that can serve any superstructu ...

The reuse of load-bearing components

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Load-bearing systems of buildings are poorly valued when they reach functional obsolescence. Still, they contribute the most to the material weight and embodied impacts of buildings and infrastructures. The reuse of structural components therefore offers g ...

Stress mitigation for adhesively bonded photovoltaics with fibre reinforced polymer composites in load carrying applications

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai

Structural loads, especially in-plane compression, may cause local buckling and debonding of the photovoltaic (PV) cells that are mechanically integrated with structural members and this may lead to degradation in their electrical performance. This paper p ...
