The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...
Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) structures allow taking synergistic advantage of the properties of both materials to optimize the overall performances in terms of lightness, slenderness, acoustic insulation, vibrational behaviour and environmental footprin ...
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are often idealized with rate-independent simulation models. However, under dynamic loading, BRBs featuring low-yield point steel exhibit rate-dependency that may lead to appreciable amplifications of the BRB forces. This ...
The tension-tension fatigue behavior of ductile adhesively-bonded double-lap FRP joints was experimentally investigated. An acrylic adhesive, which was in the rubbery state at ambient temperature, provided the joint ductility. The fatigue degradation of th ...
The present relates to a device being used in modular building construction comprising at least one flat load support comprising a first main face and a second main face, at least one elongated load support designed for being coupled with said flat load su ...
I tre saggi qui raccolti propongono una lettura specifica di momenti differenti del lavoro di Aurelio Galfetti e, a partire da un singolo progetto, dimostrano come l'idea di un'architettura territoriale abbia sempre legato nella sua attività il progetto (a ...
Historians have unanimously credited Christopher Wren with having constructed a weather clock (a self-registering instrument) in the early 1660s. This conclusion was based on the account of the French diplomat Balthasar de Monconys, which included a sketch ...
A groundbreaking work resulting from the collaboration between the three major Swiss Architectural Archives and the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel. A historical assessment of the most controversial building material of our time, concrete, made by addre ...
This paper analyses the influence of monitoring duration on the obtained results using two long term (2.5 years) monitoring campaigns. Two road bridges with different nature of traffic are considered: (a) a heavily loaded two-lane highway viaduct and (b) a ...
