Finite element investigation of the Slotted-Hidden-Gap (SHG) connection for square HSS bracing members under cyclic loading

The Slotted-Hidden-Gap (SHG) connection is an improved version of the conventional welded tube-togusset connection between hollow braces and framing elements used in Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs), offering an enhanced performance without the need for ...

A framework for occupancy detection and tracking using floor-vibration signals

Ian Smith, Slah Drira

In sensed buildings, information related to occupant movement helps optimize important func-tionalities such as caregiving, energy management, and security enhancement. Typical sensing approaches for occupant tracking rely on mobile devices and cameras. Th ...

Instability of Thin Concrete Walls with a Single Layer of Reinforcement under Cyclic Loading: Numerical Simulation and Improved Equivalent Boundary Element Model for Assessment

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Thin reinforced concrete walls may fail due to out-of-plane instability when subjected to seismic loading. While previous numerical studies on wall instability have focused on the behaviour of members with two layers of vertical reinforcement, this work ad ...

Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

Occupant- detection strategy using footstep-induced floor vibrations

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

Identification of occupant presence and location inside buildings is essential to functional goals such as security, healthcare, and energy management. Floor-vibration measurements, induced by footstep impacts, provide a non-intrusive sensing method for oc ...

Building Duration / El Portico de los Huespedes

Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Sony Devabhaktuni

El Portico de los Huéspedes is a pedagogical, design-research project that tests the possibility of an open-ended architecture, where duration links between past and future. It is a work of architecture as becoming: ‘work’ meaning the structure, rhythms an ...
