Biomimetic behavior includes aspects such as learning from previous experience, self-diagnosis, and adaptation. This thesis describes control methodologies that are essential to development towards biomimetic behavior of a complex deployable structure. Sim ...
As fatigue cracks were discovered under the bridge deck of the 48 years old railway bridge Linthkanal-Brücke, located near the Ziegelbrücke town in Switzerland, a few studies were conducted to understand the mechanism behind the cracks formation. However, ...
Lack of incentives mainly explains why the implementation of novel methods and technologies in bridge engineering practice is generally postponed by the engineering community despite the urgent need to advance also bridge engineering to meet the objectives ...
The Second Dongting Lake (SDTL) Bridge is the longest steel truss girder suspension bridge in China, which has a main span of 1480 m. To alleviate deterioration issues in the orthotropic steel deck (OSD), the steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) li ...
The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and most of the environmental impacts of structures are embodied into load-bearing systems [1]. Civil structures are usually designed to meet strength and deformation requirements to withst ...
Ultra-High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has recently been used to design lightweight structures and strengthen existing ones, with more than 300 applications in Switzerland. Several composite timber-UHPFRC bridges have been ...
Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has been developed to design lightweight structures and enhance existing designs. As the environmental footprint of the construction industry must be significantly reduced, the potenti ...
The evolution of European traffic, combined with the current works of revision of the Eurocode (CEN250 project 2nd Eurocode generation), represents an opportunity to improve the simplified method for fatigue checks (also known as the lambda method) for roa ...
Part 2 of the Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-2) proposes a straight forward fatigue verification method using a single heavy vehicle model (FLM3) and a damage equivalent factor, lambda, to represent the fatigue damaging effects of the real traffic on road bridges. Th ...
Tensegrity structure is a prestressed self-equilibrated system consisting of compressed struts and tensioned cables. Planar truss is one of the most common forms of engineering structures with a wide application. This paper proposes a new class of planar t ...
