The present work deals with the large-scale application of the friction welding bonding technology on timber. The investigations that are described in the following were carried out on a prototype of a welding machine that was previously developed for the ...
Most residential buildings that were constructed during the last century in Switzerland are 2-6 storey unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. At the beginning of the century, houses were constructed with timber floors and small bricks. This type of constru ...
This work deals with the kinematic conception and the mechanical design of ultra-high precision robots, which are at present costly to develop, both in time and money. The aim of this paper is thus to introduce a new modular concept of kinematics which all ...
Many older unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings feature timber floors and solid brick masonry. Simple equivalent frame models can help predicting the expected failure mechanism and estimating the strength of a URM wall. When modelling a URM wall with an eq ...
Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...
The conservation of historical monuments and especially natural stone masonry arch bridges is an issue which is becoming increasingly important. The prerequisite for any analysis of the load carrying capacity of such stonework is a precise knowledge of its ...
Rock avalanches are catastrophic phenomena which are not yet exhaustively understood. They consist of rock mass movements of more than one million cubic metres, involving a great amount of energy and travelling farther than expected with a normal sliding f ...
In 1984, in his Discovering the Vernacular Landscape, John Brinckerhoff Jackson stated that it is through the study of the vernacular that we could finally arrive to give a complete definition of the landscape and of its beauty because it expresses the ide ...
