Behaviour of a scour protection overlay with randomly distributed concrete prisms in plunge pools downstream of mobile barrages for exceptional operation conditions

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sabine Chamoun, Davide Wüthrich

Uncontrolled scour is affecting multiple mobile dams. The plunge pool of the Chancy-Pougny barrage, located on the Rhone River bordering France and Switzerland, has recently been reported to develop in a potentially unfavourable direction after almost 100 ...

Reinforcing Civil Engineering Curricula With Courses Including Project-Based Software Applications

Gerard Guell Bartrina

Civil engineering (CE) is one of the broadest engineering fields, if not the most, and requires undergraduate students to be exposed to a variety of topics; each can be easily recognized as a major in its own. Establishing a successful curriculum is a majo ...

Multiple resources and their sustainable development in Urban Underground Space

Aurèle Parriaux, Huanqing Li, Chao Liu

Traffic congestion and ground space scarcity are increasing the need to find more space in the urban underground. The demand-driven "top-down" planning of Urban Underground Space (UUS) is common worldwide. As natural resource, the endowments of UUS are dif ...

Evolution of division of labor in artificial societies

Pawel Lichocki

Natural and artificial societies often divide the workload between specialized members. For example, an ant worker may preferentially perform one of many tasks such as brood rearing, foraging and nest maintenance. A robot from a rescue team may specialize ...
