Proposed Limits of Stiffener Spacing Requirements for EBF Links Within the Framework of Eurocode 8
Dimitrios Lignos, Nikolaos Skretas
Design specifications for Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) provided by both the current AISC and Eurocode (EC) 8 seismic provisions are primarily based on physical tests conducted in the early 1980s. The tests investigated the behavior of, mostly short, ...
EEME2023A Calculation Method for Interconnected Timber Elements Using Wood-Wood Connections
Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet
Wood-wood connections, widely used in the past, have been progressively replaced by steel fasteners in timber constructions. Currently, they can be manufactured and implemented more efficiently thanks to digital fabrication techniques. In addition, with th ...
2020Atomic Scale Investigations into the Origins of Ductility in Mg Alloys
The industrial applications of Mg, the lightest structural metal, and abundant in Earth's crust, are hampered by its low intrinsic ductility and low fracture toughness at room temperature which is attributed to the underlying less symmetric and plastically ...
EPFL2020Segmented Spiral using Inter-Connected Timber Elements
Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Martin Thomas Nakad, Loïc Henri Pelletier
This paper describes the design, fabrication, and construction process of a scenography structure representing a five-meter height spiral made out of 3-ply crosslaminated panels. The structure includes 29 timber boxes. Typical through-tenon wood-wood joi ...
2019Non-setting, injectable biomaterials containing particulate hydroxyapatite can increase primary stability of bone screws in cancellous bone
Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Jorge Solana Munoz
BACKGROUND: Fracture fixation in weak bone is still a clinical challenge. Screw augmentation was shown to successfully increase their primary stability. The currently used calcium phosphate or polymeric bone cements, however, present important drawbacks su ...
