Ines Lamuniere will exemplify the attitude of dl-a, / Devanthery & Lamuniere, in architecture by two of their most recent projects for city centers in Switzerland. The Opera House in Lausanne, the national TV Tower in Geneva and other projects still in des ...
Cet ouvrage présente une compilation des résultats obtenus par les étudiants inscrits à l'unité d'enseignement niveau Master “Béton. Matière de construction” à l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne en 2013. L'unité d'enseignement est dispensée dans le ...
Hydropeaking is a major issue for storage hydropower plants. Hydropeaking can affect negatively the aquatic environment along river streams. For several hydropower plants studies which analyse measures to reduce the surge effect are currently under prepara ...
Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...
Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...
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 ...
Recycling of construction material is a valuable option for minimizing construction & demolition waste streams to landfills and mitigating primary mineral resource depletion. Material flows in the construction sector are governed by a complex socio-technic ...
This PhD thesis focuses on improving reliability of the LCA of buildings by a better control of the origin and magnitude of uncertainties. It contributes to: - The development of a methodology for assessing uncertainty in LCA of buildings; - The constructi ...
The impact of the earthquake of 2010 was aggravated by the precarious housindg of the vulnerable Haitian population. Although disaster risk reduction and building sector regulations are today national priorities, Haiti lacks adequate training entities. The ...
