Deriving fragility functions from bilinearized capacity curves for earthquake scenario modelling using the conditional spectrum

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel, Pia Hannewald

The development of fragility curves to perform seismic scenario-based risk assessment requires a fully probabilistic procedure in order to account for uncertainties at each step of the computation. This is especially true when developing fragility curves c ...

Investigation of local scour around tandem piers for different skew-angles

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sargol Memar

In the present study the effect of the skew-angle of the alignment of tandem piers on local scour depth around them is investigated. The tandem piers were aligned with different skew-angles of 𝜃𝜃 = 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° with respect to the flow direction. ...

Temperature-colour interaction: is colour affecting people’s thermal perception?

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

Over the last century, a large number of studies has tried to answer to the question whether coloured stimuli could have an effect on human thermal perceptual evaluation (i.e., temperature-colour interaction). In the building research area, this effect is ...

Robotic Integral Attachment

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Matthias Köhler

Integral joints provide a rapid, simple and mechanically strong connection between parts. Our investigation focuses on the assembly of cross-laminated wood veneer plates, where previous studies have shown that the strength of through-tenons is equivalent o ...

Effect of non-linear soil deformation on the interaction among energy piles

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Aurélien Vadrot

This study investigates the effect of non-linear soil deformation on the displacement interaction among energy piles. The work is based on interaction factor analyses of full-scale pile group tests, whose results are compared with experimental evidence. Th ...

Local versus global and retinotopic versus non-retinotopic motion processing in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Marc Michael Lauffs

Schizophrenia impairs cognitive function as much as perception. For example, patients perceive global motion in random dot kinematograms less strongly, because the integration of the dots into a single Gestalt is complex (e.g., Chen, Nakayama, Levy, Matthy ...

Influence of loading history on mechanical properties of biomaterials

Tom Charles Maurice Walet

It is known that the mechanical response to load or displacement of a biological tissue can highly vary from one cycle to the next. Therefore, in order to establish a reference state for repeating data measurements, tissues are subjected to a preliminary s ...

A simple one-dimensional model for urban canopy flows

Fernando Porté Agel, Wai Chi Cheng

In urban canopy parameterizations, an urban canopy is usually modelled as a drag force on the flow, and the turbulent shear stress is parametrized by various methods. One of the most common methods to parametrize the turbulent shear stress in urban canopie ...

The Spitzer-Irac/Mips Extragalactic Survey (Simes) In The South Ecliptic Pole Field

Hakim Atek

We present the Spitzer-IRAC/MIPS Extragalactic survey (SIMES) in the South Ecliptic Pole field. The large area covered (7.7 deg(2)), together with one of the lowest Galactic cirrus emissions in the entire sky and a very extensive coverage by Spitzer, Hersc ...

The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...
