Selection of informative monitoring techniques for bridge-performance evaluations
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola
Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. Evaluating existing structures using a d ...
Trinity College2023Sensing the structural behavior: A perspective on the usefulness of monitoring information for bridge examination
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland
Managing existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, material aging, and climate change. With increasingly limited economic, environmental, and material resources, more sustainable solutions for practical asset man ...
2023Combined Passive and Active Ultrasonic Stress Wave Monitoring of UHPFRC Properties on a Structural Level
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Thomas Schumacher
Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is becoming popular in designing lightweight and durable structures. UHPFRC structural elements remain crack-free and waterproof under service conditions, significantly improving durab ...
2023Reliability analysis and partial safety format calibration considering the characteristics of the resistance of reinforced concrete structures
Every engineering calculation is an approximation of reality, with inevitable uncertainties involved. This fact implies that a reliability verification accounting for the uncertainties is a necessary step in the design and assessment of structures. Nowaday ...
EPFL2023Power Production and Blade Fatigue of a Wind Turbine Array Subjected to Active Yaw Control
This study investigated the power production and blade fatigue of a three-turbine array subjected to active yaw control (AYC) in full-wake and partial-wake configurations. A framework of a two-way coupled large eddy simulation (LES) and an aeroelastic blad ...
