Simultaneous consideration of active devices – especially mechanical heating and ventilation – and passive devices – including insulation and waterproofing of building envelopes – was one of the most notable aspects of studies of the management of physiolo ...
Nowadays, reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most widely spread construction materials: allowing to build robust and durable structures. Traditionally, due to cover requirements of the reinforcement and to casting and vibration needs, it has yet been a ...
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 ...
In order to evaluate the seismic vulnerability at large scale, it is necessary to gain awareness of the soil properties, types of materials used in the construction of buildings during different periods, the construction standards of each period, different ...
The presence of an artesian aquifer lying under the construction site of a hydro-electrical power plant had not been considered in the design project. The foreseen excavation works could not be carried out due to a high risk of hydraulic heave of the excav ...
This paper presents the results of an online survey that was conducted in 2014 to assess the evolution of computing in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) education. A primary goal includes contributing to the understanding of the evolution o ...
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 ...
At the centre of the research is the preservation of the countryside which is highlighted and studied through an architectural approach which focuses on cabins in the high mountains. The projects must reflect upon territorial, global and sustainable aspect ...
We provide counterexamples to regularity of optimal maps in the classical Monge problem under various assumptions on the initial data. Our construction is based on a variant of the counterexample in [10] to Lipschitz regularity of the monotone optimal map ...
Professionals involved in building construction and monitoring increasingly implement new practices made available by Building Information Modelling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). In spite of numerous efforts, most methods in ...
