This contribution gives an account of how concrete construction developed in French-speaking Switzerland since the end of the nineteenth century. The narrative is based on original sources from the Archives de la construction moderne (Acm) and on data and ...
The presence of an artesian aquifer lying under the construction site of a hydro-electrical power plant had not been considered in the design project. The foreseen excavation works could not be carried out due to a high risk of hydraulic heave of the excav ...
The lecture, starting from a synoptic analysis of the European situation and Belgian realizations of suspended buildings in the years 1960 - 1980, will mainly deal with the construction history of the Administrative Buildings of the Place Chauderon in Laus ...
In the last decades, soil bioengineering has gained considerable popularity worldwide, especially in hillslope, riverbank, and earth embankment stabilisation works. The use of plants as a building material transfers the plant multifunctionality within engi ...
Metal fasteners and adhesive bonding are the main assembly methods in modern timber constructions. However, traditional wood-wood connections can be used effectively as well, thanks to increasing automation of the construction industry (CNC, robotics, etc. ...
Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flatteni ...
In the last decade, Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced cement-based Composites (UHPFRC) have been increasingly implemented for rehabilitation and strengthening purposes, rendering outstanding results. The ease of application, along with their superior ...
The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...
The output obtained from operando X-ray diffraction experiments on Ti-6Al-4V is used to verify the accuracy of four FEM models in predicting the temperature evolution of the solidified domain, the cooling rates of the alpha and beta phases, and the influen ...
