Grammar-based generation of trusses within non-convex domains

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

A force-driven generative grammar rule is proposed as a design exploration method for planar networks in static equilibrium within non-convex domains. The aim is to enrich the catalog of unconventional structural typologies. Empty or partial networks in eq ...

Experimental Seismic Response of a Half-Scale Stone Masonry Building Aggregate : Effects of Retrofit Strategies

Katrin Beyer, Andrea Penna

A unidirectional shaking-table test on the half-scale prototype of a natural stone masonry building aggregate was performed as part of an extensive experimental and numerical research project, investigating the seismic vulnerability of historical buildings ...

The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

Danilo Tarquini

Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices. This degradation applies in particular if the lo ...

Model-Based Occupant Tracking Using Slab-Vibration Measurements

Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira

Sensor-based occupant tracking has the potential to enhance knowledge of the utilization of buildings. Occupancy-tracking strategies using footstep-induced floor vibrations may be beneficial for thermal-load prediction, security enhancement, and care-givin ...

From experimental evidence to mechanical modeling and design expressions: The Critical Shear Crack Theory for shear design

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Many research efforts have so far been devoted to the topic of shear design of members without transverse reinforcement since the first development in structural concrete. This has allowed a number of significant advances in the understanding of the phenom ...

Exploration of spatial structures made from reused elements and the design of optimal kits-of-parts

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Reuse reduces raw material use, waste generation and energy consumption caused by building construction. A substantial share of these impacts is contributed by load-bearing systems be-cause of their mass- and energy-intensive production process. Therefore, ...

Strengthening of metallic members under mixed mode fatigue loading using prestressed CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini

The strengthening of existing steel structures against high-cycle fatigue (HCF) loading has become one of the most important topics of interest in structural rehabilitation. Apart from the conventional strengthening techniques that incorporate bulky and he ...

"Impossibile da calcolare!" Il cantiere della buvette di Évian-les-Bains, fra intuizione creativa e rigore intellettuale (M.Novarina, J.Prouvé, S.Ketoff, 1955-57)

Giulia Marino

Precision mechanics: the buvette (pump room) of Évian-les-Bains is not just an architecture of great formal elegance, but above all an extraordinary technological object, a machine carefully calibrated, in equilibrium. Architectural criticism has largely d ...
