Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The present work investigates an innovative class of timber structure with potential applications in roofing, facade and bridge construction, called Timberfabric. The development of Timberfabric structures originates from the approach of harnessing the str ...
Asian knotweeds (Fallopia spp.) are considered one of the world's most invasive species. Restoring habitats dominated by these exotic species requires a better understanding of the importance of abiotic factors controlling the invasive knotweeds performanc ...
Reinforced concrete (RC) culverts under high fill have been widely used in the construction of expressways and railways. Based on the results of a field survey, various types of structural damage to RC culverts occur during construction and service periods ...
Energy geostructures represent a renewable and clean source of energy which can be used for heating and cooling of buildings and de-icing of infrastructures. This technology couples the structural role of geostructures with the energy supply, using the pri ...
Ponding tests were conducted in the Shiyang River Basin in Northwest China to assess canal leakage characteristics. Four anti-seepage constructions (concrete lining, pebble lining, clay lining plus compacted canal bed, compacted canal bed only) were perfor ...
The analysis of spectroscopic data to elucidate chemical structures requires intensive practice. A Web portal is described that allows uploading, storing, simulating, and sharing of spectroscopic data. The Web portal can also be used to create, embed, and ...
A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. The estimation of a fatigue crack life using the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory involves the calculation of stress intensity factors (S ...
In the context of sustainable development, there is a growing interest in mapping soil characteristics and land use, in particular to evaluate threats to soil quality. Fast non-invasive geophysical surveys have been used to estimate the areal distribution ...
TCA, time compression approximation, is a practical and often quite accurate tool to predict postponding infiltration for field applications. A modified approximation (MTCA) can be used just as easily and, in general, will reduce the error by about 50%. Th ...
In this work we discuss the reliability of the coupling among three-dimensional (3D) and one-dimensional (1D) models that describe blood flowing into the circulatory tree. In particular, we study the physical consistency of the 1D model with respect to the ...
