The dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) problem is to find the state of a transportation system where demand (travel behavior) and supply (network performance) are mutually consistent. The difficulty of solving this problem with mathematical rigor led to the ...
It is recognized that most damage to reinforced concrete structures is caused by insufficient durability rather than by low strength. In most cases, the quality and thickness of the cover concrete (covercrete) determine the service life of the structure. S ...
The physical modeling tests for the rehabilitation of St-Marc Dam with a PKW are presented. A particular focus is put on the energy dissipation downstream from the PKW. The adopted solution is a leaned “ski-jump gutter” placed at the contact line between t ...
The paper considers the impact of multiple shareholder-oriented governance practices on R&D decisions. Based on a sample of 5,528 firms belonging to 110 large French listed business groups, our results substantiate the idea that shareholder-oriented govern ...
A reinforcing element (10) for structural concrete construction comprising a rod- shaped bar (1 1 ) having a cross-sectional enlargement on at least one end thereof. The rod shaped member (11 ) comprises an elbow portion (12) on said at least one end being ...
There is currently a lack of established calculation method for the geotechnical design of heat exchanger piles. Thermo-mechanical effects are ignored and large overall security factors are therefore applied. This paper presents a new geotechnical numerica ...
This article presents a comprehensive modeling of temperature, carbonation, water and chloride ions transport in cover concrete using the transport model "TransChlor". The TransChlor transport model employs weather data and chloride ion concentrations pres ...
The temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. Temperature has also a great influence on the creep of cementitious materials. Previous investigations have not provided a complete understanding of these effects; in particular ...
This tool-kit offers a methodology designed to assess the good practices of scientific diasporas and it provides concrete examples of Colombian, Indian and South African scientists and skilled professionals in Switzerland. This is a useful guide for the di ...
The GENE/GIST code package is developed for the investigation of plasma microturbulence, suitable for both stellarator and tokamak configurations. The geometry module is able to process typical equilibrium files and create the interface for the gyrokinetic ...
