Seismic retrofit of steel tall buildings with bilinear oil dampers

This paper presents retrofit solutions for existing tall buildings by utilizing supplemental damping devices, namely oil dampers with relief valve (bilinear oil dampers). To this end, multiple retrofit schemes are presented for a benchmark 40-story steel m ...

SEISMIC RETROFIT OF GUSSET PLATE CONNECTIONS THROUGH FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS MASTER PROJECT

Sacha Roger Laffely

Steel concentrically braced frame (CBFs) are widely used as a laterally-resisting system in the case of seismic actions as they are generally easier and faster to erect, and in most cases, they cost less than moment-resisting frame system. However, special ...

Energy transition potential in peri-urban dwellings: Assessment of theoretical scenarios in the Swiss context

Sophie Lufkin, Judith Elisa Drouilles

This paper investigates the theoretical capacity of the Swiss peri-urban dwelling stock to meet energy efficiency requirements through incremental scenarios. The notion of “typical dwelling” allows the assessment of housing energy efficiency at the country ...

Multi-scale modelling to evaluate building energy consumption at the neighbourhood scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Silvia Coccolo

A new methodology is proposed to couple a meteorological model with a building energy use model. The aim of such a coupling is to improve the boundary conditions of both models with no significant increase in computational time. In the present case, the Ca ...

Towards automated inference of occupant behavioral dynamics using plug-load energy data

Andrew James Sonta

When building systems and occupants use energy, they create data—much of it unstructured and characterized as long running time series. Energy data captured at the plug level offers an opportunity not only to analyze highly granular building activities, bu ...

Large and reversible shape changes as a strategy for structural adaptation

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures are sensed and actuated to perform tasks such as modifying their internal load-path in response to external actions to maintain optimal performance. Shape control and load-path redirection have been investigated to counteract the effect ...

The effects of vegetation on indoor thermal comfort: the application of a multi-scale simulation methodology on a residential neighborhood renovation case study

Luisa Pastore

Despite the acknowledged positive effects of vegetation at urban, neighborhood and building scales, there are still only limited comprehensive design tools for multi-scale evaluation of the microclimate and thermal benefits of plants and building-integrate ...

On the energy benefit of compute-and-forward for multiple unicasts

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

Compute-and-forward (CF) is a technique which exploits broadcast and superposition in wireless networks. In this paper, the CF energy benefit is studied for networks with unicast sessions and modeled by connected graphs. This benefit is defined as the rati ...

JouleSense: A Simulation based Platform for Proactive Feedback on Building Occupants' Energy Use

Maher Kayal, Georgios Lilis, Shubham Bansal

A significant amount of energy in the buildings can be saved by inducing efficient occupant behavior. The occupant's awareness tools that have been shown to be effective in achieving energy efficiency gains depend on various computational and estimation al ...
