Since both lining structure and rock mass exhibit delayed behaviour, tunnel equilibrium conditions evolve with time. After discussing existing work done on different aspects of long-term tunnel behaviour, the aim of this paper is to “understand” the influe ...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate experimentally the UHPFRC time-dependent behavior under sustained tensile loading and to determine the effect of the stress level on the creep response. Uniaxial tensile creep tests were performed at various stre ...
Vascular smooth muscle is a major structural element of the arterial wall. We examined the effects of cytoskeleton destruction, after administration of Cytochalasin D, on the biomechanical properties of porcine common carotids. Compared to untreated, maxim ...

Pamphlet Vol. 06 is based on the Spring 2009 semester-course held by the studio ALICE at EPFL and contains a series of projects developed by the ALICE students for alpine motels along 8 mountain passes in the Valais. ...
Background: Structural constitutive models of vascular wall integrate information on composition and structural arrangements of tissue. In blood vessels, collagen fibres are arranged in coiled and wavy bundles and the individual collagen fibres have a devi ...
This thesis contributes to the field of biomechanics of vascular wall. The focus is particularly on the microstructure of vascular elastin and collagen constituents and their contribution to the macroscopic mechanical behavior of the wall. The analysis is ...
This thesis is intended to contribute to the field of biomechanics of growth and remodeling of arteries. The work focuses particularly on growth and remodeling caused by sustained hypertension, increased blood flow, and ageing. A structure-based constituti ...
The creep of a dislocation on its glide plane is essentially controlled by three different stress fields: the external applied stress, the internal stress field due to a multi-scale hierarchy of different obstacles (the structural defects acting on the dis ...
This thesis aims at better understanding the role played by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSM) in the biomechanics of the arterial wall. Current models assume that under maximal vasodilation VSM carry no load, or the so-called "active stress" is zero. Biom ...
