A global framework for data-informed bridge examination

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Philippe Schiltz

Examining the performance of an existing bridge requires information on several aspects, such as design choices, material properties, and ongoing degradation processes. It often happens that some critical information is not available. The traditional appro ...

2024

Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. Evaluating existing structures using a d ...

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures

Yves Weinand

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber plate structures, presented with examples from recent construction projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design me ...

Robotically-Fabricated Nexorades from Whole Timber

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Aryan Rezaei Rad

This paper introduces the conceptual design of sustainable timber structures using raw wood. It pre-sents a workflow for systematically generating Nexorades using a tiling method for multi-valence quad subdivided surfaces. The system is designed based on a ...

2021

Recent advances in timber construction have led to the realization of complex timber plate structures assembled with wood-wood connections. Although advanced numerical modelling tools have been developed to perform their structural analysis, limited experi ...

Design framework for the structural analysis of free-form timber plate structures using wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Anh Chi Nguyen

Geometrically complex timber plate structures using wood-wood connections are increasingly designed thanks to digital fabrication. Whereas their fabrication has been automated using computer-aided design programming, research focused on the development of ...

Design and Control of Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures

Gennaro Senatore

The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and most of the environmental impacts of structures are embodied into load-bearing systems [1]. Civil structures are usually designed to meet strength and deformation requirements to withst ...

Model-Based Occupant Tracking Using Slab-Vibration Measurements

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

Sensor-based occupant tracking has the potential to enhance knowledge of the utilization of buildings. Occupancy-tracking strategies using footstep-induced floor vibrations may be beneficial for thermal-load prediction, security enhancement, and care-givin ...
