New Structural Potential of Wood: the Ibois Research Laboratory at EPF Lausanne

The fragmentation of experience and the disintegration of knowledge into many independent specialisms, each with its own language, (specifically, the separation of design from technical and structural planning) are now given facts that diminish our sens of ...

Innovative Timber Constructions

Yves Weinand

Practical and material orientated academic research has become increasingly important for architectural practice. This is due to several reasons. First of all, it contributes to contemporary concepts in architecture and improves their implementation. Today ...

Active tensegrity structures with sliding cables - static and dynamic behaviour

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali

Tensegrities are spatial, reticulated and lightweight structures that are increasingly investigated as structural solutions for active and deployable structures. Tensegrity systems are composed only of axially loaded elements providing opportunities for ac ...

Extending graphic statics for user-controlled structural morphogenesis

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

The first geometrical definitions of any structure are of primary importance when considering pertinence and efficiency in structural design processes. Engineering history has taught us how graphic statics can be a very powerful tool since it allows the de ...

Oxide nanocrystal based nanocomposites for fabricating photoplastic AFM probes

Jürgen Brugger, Cristina Martin Olmos

We report on the synthesis, characterization and application of a novel nanocomposite made of a negative tone epoxy based photoresist modified with organic-capped Fe2O3 nanocrystals (NCs). The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite drastically improve ...

Fragile yet Ductile, Structural Aspects of Reinforced Glass Beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This dissertation investigates the structural aspects of reinforced glass beams. The concept of these beams, which are intended for building applications, is to provide redundancy even if the glass is broken. This redundancy is obtained through a small rei ...

Suspended SU-8 structures for monolithic microfluidic channels

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Sébastien Jiguet, Yves Moser, Riccardo Forti

SU-8 photoresist is commonly used in the field of microfabrication as structural material or for molding of microfluidic devices. One major limitation, however, is the difficulty to process partially freestanding SU-8 structures or monolithic closed caviti ...

Coupled spillway devices and energy dissipation system at St-Marc (France)

Anton Schleiss, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

The physical modeling tests for the rehabilitation of St-Marc Dam with a PKW are presented. A particular focus is put on the energy dissipation downstream from the PKW. The adopted solution is a leaned “ski-jump gutter” placed at the contact line between t ...

A simplified method for collapse capacity assessment of moment-resisting frame and shear wall structural systems

Dimitrios Lignos

A simplified methodology for predicting the median and dispersion of collapse capacity of moment-resisting frame and shear wall structural systems subjected to seismic excitations is proposed. The method is based on nonlinear static (pushover) analysis. Si ...
