It has been known for more than 150 years that action effects in bridges due to traffic action are higher than it has to be expected for purely static loads. In the design of road bridges, this difference is considered by multiplying static traffic loads w ...
The importance of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) as a material used for civil engineering purposes has grown in the last decade. Especially the introduction of pultrusion at an industrial level as a way to produce big batches of FRP made it possible to o ...
In the context of sustainable development, building insulation represents a major concern as a means of increasing energy efficiency. In order to comply with new norms such as the Passive House standard, locations where load-bearing components must penetra ...
For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...
The present research on cut-and-cover tunnels gives a theoretical contribution to the understanding of the behaviour of these structures up to their ultimate limit state. A simplified method inspired on the convergence-confinement method is investigated an ...
The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
Besides the 50s revolution of the use of adhesives in the new construction in the works of strengthening and repair of different structural elements, adhesives were extensively used in bridges for a long time. Different applications on bridges were carried ...
The objective of this study was to unravel the structural properties responsible for the partitioning of solutes in o‐nitrophenyl octyl ether (o‐NPOE)/H2O, a new solvent system for the determination of the partition coefficients of ions. A set of 88 compou ...
The present paper describes the challenges posed by transposing a successful conventional course into an – hopefully – equally successful web-based course, with the name i-Structures. This work is under way as part of the Swiss Virtual Campus project. The ...

In this paper, we present a method to improve video OCR with multiple character hypotheses. The text regions in video need to be binarized before work as the input of current OCR system. Tranditional binarization do not use any structural information about ...
