Making Bridges Sustainable
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 ...
Taylor and Francis / CRC Press2023European traffic on road bridges and recalibration of lambda factor for fatigue verification
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 ...
2020Research on a New Class of Planar Tensegrity Trusses Consisting of Repetitive Units
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 ...
2020Fatigue Study of the Linthkanal-Brücke
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, ...
2018Biomimetic adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure
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 ...
