Hydropeaking is a major issue for storage hydropower plants. Hydropeaking can affect negatively the aquatic environment along river streams. For several hydropower plants studies which analyse measures to reduce the surge effect are currently under prepara ...
Over the past decades, an increasing number of bridges with integral abutment have been built in Switzerland. This type of bridge offers various advantages over standard bridges with abutments, equipped with expansion joints and bearings that require regul ...
Polar codes were recently introduced by Arikan. They achieve the symmetric capacity of arbitrary binary-input discrete memoryless channels under a low complexity successive cancellation decoding strategy. The original polar code construction is closely rel ...

Structural Health Monitoring (SMH) has the potential to provide reliable, quantitative data on the real condition of structures. Early detection of damage or deterioration can enable preventive repair and reduce maintenance costs. Although obtaining data f ...
Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...
The use of the structural adhesive bonding technique is well established in the aircraft and automotive industries where, in most cases, joints can be fabricated indoors under controlled conditions. In the civil engineering domain, however, load-bearing st ...
Energy dissipation systems such as single fall-stilling basin and single chute bucket have been used in the design and construction of large dams. In the case of high head structures, however, due to the high flow velocity, these systems suffer from proble ...
Nowadays, buildings are increasingly seen as a pressing environmental problem. By their very nature, they affect and transform the land on which they are built by changing and destroying habitats and causing loss of biological diversity. On a macro level, ...
Cascade stilling basins system, consisting of a series of falls and stilling basins, may be a good alternative energy dissipation system for high head dams. Traditional design of such a system is based on a trial and error procedure by which the number and ...
