A Contribution to the Design of Textile Reinforced Concrete Structures
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, ...
EPFL2020A methodology for measurement-system design combining information from static and dynamic excitations for bridge load testing
Managing infrastructure assets is challenging for developed countries because of demand for increases in capacity, the scarcity of economic and environmental resources as well as ageing. Due to conservative approaches to construction design and practice, i ...
2019How will we plan and build in 25 years and how will this process be regulated?
Constraints and regulations related to new buildings are constantly evolving and all these changes, in our ways of thinking and producing, will have an impact on standards. For the policy field, contractual relationships, risk-allocation models and procedu ...
2018Risk-Based Human-Aware Multi-Robot Coordination in Dynamic Environments Shared with Humans
Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour
In this paper, we propose a risk-based coordination method for the Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problem in human-populated environments. We introduce risk-based bids that incorporate human trajectory prediction uncertainties and furthermore, social c ...

2018Effect of dimensions on embodied environmental impact of buildings
Guillaume Habert, Endrit Hoxha
Designers are faced with many options on material and technical solutions during the design phase of the building. Different studies proposing solutions and guidelines are presented in the literature. They help to guide the building project toward low CO2- ...
2017Functional and Adaptive Construction for Rescue
Although recent advances in the field of robotics have greatly increased robotic capabilities for several applications, autonomous robots are still in their infancy regarding their support of onsite construction. Unlike production robots that are used, for ...
EPFL2017Hydropower Design under Uncertainties
The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Performance evaluation of hydropower projects is affected by a n ...
EPFL2017The symmetry of partner modelling
Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari
Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...
Springer2016Rethinking the house form in poor areas
Joana Rosa Ferreira Leite dos Santos Aleixo
Studying housing requires a multidisciplinary approach in order to come up with comprehensive solutions for physical, social and cultural needs. This thesis intends to bring those needs into the process of creating the house, by proposing a methodology to ...
