Experimental Investigation on Size-Effect of Rubble Stone Masonry Walls Under In-Plane Horizontal Loading: Overview and Preliminary Results
Katrin Beyer, Savvas Saloustros
Rubble stone masonry is a common construction typology of historical city centres and vernacular architecture. While past earthquakes have shown that it is one of the most vulnerable masonry construction typologies, there are few experimental campaigns giv ...
2024Digital Twins of Stone Masonry Buildings for Damage Assessment
Katrin Beyer, Radhakrishna Achanta, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero
Digital twins are virtual models of physical objects or systems that enable real-time monitoring and analysis. In the field of stone masonry buildings, digital twins can be used to assess damage, predict maintenance needs, and opti- mize building performanc ...
Springer2024Micro modeling of irregular stone masonry walls using mathematical programming
Katrin Beyer, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos
While understanding the shear strength of stone masonry structures is important for the design and the mainte- nance, we still lack computational tools for predicting the strength as a function of the stone layout. Here we implement an end-to-end image bas ...
Springer2024Geometrical digital twins of the as-built microstructure of three-leaf stone masonry walls with laser scanning
Katrin Beyer, Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Savvas Saloustros, Andrea Settimi, Andrea Cabriada Ascencio
Research on irregular stone masonry walls is hampered by the lack of detailed geometrical models of their internal micro-structure, i.e. the shape and size of each stone and its position within the wall. Without such a geometric digital twin of walls teste ...
2023Automated planning for the construction of laterally resistant masonry walls using irregular stones
Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos
The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...
2023Automated post-earthquake damage assessment of stone masonry buildings integrating machine learning, computer vision, and physics-based modeling
Current post-earthquake damage assessment methodologies are not only time-consuming but also subjective in nature and difficult to document. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and technological devices make it possible to accomplish this task a ...
EPFL2023Design of New Low-Carbon Floor Systems by Reusing Cut Cast-in-Place Concrete Pieces
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola
As floors typically account for the largest share of a building embodied carbon footprint, new strategies to build low-carbon floors must be developed and implemented. Among these strategies, the reuse of existing components is a promising circular approac ...
