A model-based data-interpretation framework for post-earthquake building assessment with scarce measurement data

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

Recent earthquake events throughout the world have once again exposed the vulnerability of buildings with respect to earthquakes. It is unlikely and unsustainable to design and - especially in regions with low-to-moderate seismic hazard – to retrofit all b ...

A practical method for seismic retrofit of tall buildings with supplemental damping

Dimitrios Lignos

Current simplified design methods for buildings with supplemental damping devices are mainly based on single-degreefreedom (SDF) shear-models. Common errors of such methods are attributed to the linearization of nonlinear damping and stiffness, higher buil ...

Genius loci e memorie urbane. Il progetto di Ragnar Östberg per l’area di Eldkvarn

Chiara Monterumisi

The paper explores the city of Stockholm, apparently far from the main tracks of other significant European examples due to its peculiar morphological features. The study investigates the Stockholm Town Hall (Stadshuset) and the nearby never-to-be realized ...

Inferring occupant ties: Automated inference of occupant network structure in commercial buildings

Andrew James Sonta

To design and manage office buildings that are both energy-efficient and productive work environments, we need a better understanding of the relationship between building and occupant systems. Past data-driven building research has focused on energy effici ...

Seismic Performance Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Steel Frame Buildings

Existing steel frame buildings in Switzerland that have been designed from the early 1970s typically utilized a steel lateral load resisting system with practically no seis- mic design requirements. However, Switzerland is a moderate seismicity zone and th ...

Extreme Hydrodynamic impact onto buildings

Davide Wüthrich

The catastrophic tsunami events in 2004 and 2011 revealed that buildings with large openings often resisted better to the hydrodynamic impact of the wave. The steel or concrete structure of the building remained intact and the upper floors could serve as s ...

Influence of design‐decisions on the energy performance of renovation projects with building‐integrated photovoltaics: Results for a 1968 residential archetype in Neuchâtel (Switzerland)

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

The renovation of existing buildings is one of the priorities of western countries and needs to be promoted to increase the current low renovation rate, estimated to be of 0.6% per year in the European and Swiss contexts. In parallel, the implementation of ...

Promoting Solar Energy While Preserving Urban Context

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

New energy regulations, together with mandatory solar fractions for electricity and Domestic Hot Water are introducing new materialities and geometries in buildings, resulting in new forms of architectural expression that are slowly modifying our city land ...

Application of the cost-optimal methodology to urban renewal projects at the territorial scale based on statistical data—A case study in Spain

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

As tomorrow’s cities are already largely built, many strategies stress the importance of urban renewalprocesses to address current energy issues. This paper focuses on the Spanish residential building stockbuilt until 2001, which has a low level of energy ...
