Effect of Slab Stiffness on EBF Link Rotation Demands and Implications for Link Ultra Low-Cycle Fatigue Susceptibility

Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Gary Scott Prinz

This study aims to quantify slab contributions in EBFs by investigating the dynamic performance of two 3-story EBF configurations with and without concrete slabs: one configuration having long (flexural yielding) links and the other having shorter (shear y ...

New developments in rock fall hazard assessment and zoning: an application of the Cadanav methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...

Elevation dependency of mountain snow depth

Michael Lehning

Elevation strongly affects quantity and distribution patterns of precipitation and snow. Positive elevation gradients were identified by many studies, usually based on data from sparse precipitation stations or snow depth measurements. We present a systema ...

Nested maps: reality representation as a first action against erasement process

Marlène Audrey Bertille Leroux

The author’s doctoral research is primarily focused on analysing the issue of rural urbanisation as a key sustainable development challenge – based on the conviction that rural areas today must be studied on their own account and no longer simply understoo ...

Robust visual tracking using feature selection

Fabien Willemin

Visual tracking has become a very important component in computer vision, but achieving a robust, reliable and real time tracking remains a real challenge.In order to improve the actual state-of-the-art, we choose to study and improve one of the most perfo ...

Damage predicting algorithms for regular RC structures

Pierino Lestuzzi, Amin Karbassi

In this paper a 2-phase decision tree algorithm is developed to qualitatively predict damage in RC buildings based on earthquake characteristics and structural properties. To this end, the structural properties considered are the natural period of the fund ...

Annealing effects on the microstructure and photoluminescence of Eu3+-doped GdVO4 powders

Barbora Bártová

This work explores the influence of annealing temperature on microstructure and optical characteristics of Eu3+ doped GdVO4 (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 at.% Eu3+) nanopowders produced via co-precipitation synthesis. Samples were annealed at different temperatures (30 ...

Developing cyclic loading protocols for regions of low to moderate seismicity

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

This paper deals with the development of loading protocols appropriate for cyclic testing in regions of low to moderate seismicity in Europe. To serve this goal, cumulative damage demands imposed by a set of 60 ground motion records, representative of a Eu ...

The hydro-morphological index of diversity: a tool for describing habitat heterogeneity in river engineering projects

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner

We present a new hydro-morphological index of diversity (HMID), a tool aimed for use in river engineering projects and firstly developed at gravel-bed streams in Switzerland, but intended for a broader use. We carried out field work with extensive hydrauli ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment to slight damage based on experimental modal parameters

Clotaire Michel

The aim of this paper is to adjust behaviour models for each class of structure for vulnerability assessment by using ambient vibration. A simple model based on frequencies, mode shapes and damping, taken from ambient vibrations, allows computation of the ...
