Reuse of concrete components in new construction projects: Critical review of 77 circular precedents

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer

Extracting pieces of concrete from obsolete buildings and reusing them, as is, in new assemblies is today rarely considered a strategy for improving the sustainability of the construction sector. By delaying the crushing of concrete into aggregates and avo ...

Cockroach: an open-source tool for point cloud processing in cad

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Andrea Settimi, Petras Vestartas

In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector, the use of point cloud data is not a novelty. Usually employed to retrieve data for inspecting construction sites or retrofitting pre-existing buildings, sensors like LiDAR cameras have been k ...

BLOOM: Bimodal Lattice One-out-of-Many Proofs and Applications

Ngoc Khanh Karol Nguyen

We give a construction of an efficient one-out-of-many proof system, in which a prover shows that he knows the pre-image for one element in a set, based on the hardness of lattice problems. The construction employs the recent zero-knowledge framework of Ly ...

Decision Framework to Balance Environmental, Technical, Logistical, and Economic Criteria When Designing Structures With Reused Components

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Numa Joy Bertola, Célia Marine Küpfer, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

The reuse of structural components in new buildings has great potential to reduce the environmental impacts of the construction sector but remains uncommon practice. An obstacle to its wider implementation is the lack of robust assessment methods and decis ...

TERRE project: interplay between unsaturated soil mechanics and low-carbon geotechnical engineering

Alessio Ferrari, Jacopo Zannin, Gianluca Speranza

The geotechnical construction industry is a major component of the overall construction sector and is strategically important in infrastructure development (transportation, flood and landslide protection, building foundations, waste disposal). Although ind ...

New perspectives for design of lightweight structures by using textile reinforced concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

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 ...

Embodied Energy and Lifecycle Costs: Questioning (Mis)conceptions about Underground Construction

Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle

In the construction community, underground construction is perceived as being significantly more costly and more energy-consuming than comparable surface construction. Although the literature is scarce, studies that have attempted to quantify this differen ...

Overpass bridge of the L3378 road near Fulda-Lehnerz First application of UHPFRC in road bridge construction in Germany. Part 1

Eugen Brühwiler

Aging bridges of the German federal road network often cannot be rehabilitated or replaced timely due to insufficient funding and complex regulations of building laws. Consequently, novel building materials and alternative solutions get the opportunity to ...

Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept

Yiming Li, Hua Zhang, Gennady Plyushchev, Shuai Liu, Frank Zimmermann

This paper describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield acceleration and the motivation for using proton drivers. We then describe the ...
