Automated planning for the construction of laterally resistant masonry walls using irregular stones

Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos

The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...

Asymmetric Construction of α,α‐Disubstituted Piperazinones Enabled by Benzilic Amide Rearrangement

Jieping Zhu, Hua Wu, Yuping He

An unprecedent asymmetric catalytic benzilic amide rearrangement for the synthesis of α,α-disubstituted piperazinones is reported. The reaction proceeds via a domino [4+1] imidazolidination/formal 1,2-nitro- gen shift/1,2-aryl or alkyl migration sequence, ...

Building structures made of reused cut reinforced concrete slabs and walls: A case study

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer

Reuse of reinforced concrete (RC) components reduces construction’s environmental impacts and waste. Rather than crushing the concrete of an obsolete structure, its components are saw cut and later reassembled in a new structure. The theoretical feasibilit ...
