Curved Folded Plate Timber Structures

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri, Ivo Stotz

This work investigates the development of a Curved Origami Prototype made with timber panels. In the last fifteen years the timber industry has developed new, large size, timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels and the possibility of mill ...

Modelling techniques to capture the backbone envelope behaviour of coupling beams subjected to seismic loading

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Neven Kostic

Structural R/C cores are a popular and efficient choice as lateral-load resisting system in medium to tall buildings. The walls of the cores typically present large openings providing access to elevators placed within them. Shear induced by lateral forces ...

Asynchronous variational integrators as a mechanical tool for dimensioning thin-shell structures

Yves Weinand, Tudor Ratiu, François Marie Alain Demoures

Thin-shell and rod theory using discrete mechanics applied to structures in civil engineering. The aim is to apply structure preserving algorithms to concrete problems in construction. The major objectives of this interdisciplinary work is the search and t ...

ProtoPeer: Distributed Systems Prototyping Toolkit

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

Simulators are an excellent tool for quick systems prototyping and large-scale parameter sweeps, but they cannot match the accuracy of live network evaluations. Switching from the simulation to the actual implementation often requires a considerable develo ...

Glass panel under shear loading

Danijel Mocibob

The latest trends in contemporary architecture are fully transparent pavilions: a single storey building free of any steel or concrete frame, where glass panels are used as unique vertical structural elements to support the roof and as wind bracing to stab ...

Numerics for geotechnics and structures. Recent developments in ZSoil.PC

Civil engineers are more and more often confronted with constructions in urban environment. It is then essential to be able to accurately assess the initial state, and the evolution of the safety during construction stages. While traditional geotechnical e ...

Segregation mechanisms in a numerical model of a binary granular mixture

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

A simple phenomenological numerical model of a binary granular mixture is developed and investigated numerically. We attempt to model a recently reported experimental system where a horizontally vibrated binary monolayer was found to exhibit a transition f ...

Une structure active de type tensegrité

Etienne Fest

A tensegrity is a lightweight space reticulated structure consisting of compression members — struts — surrounded by a network of tension members — cables — that provide rigidity and stability. They can be easily dismantled and therefore, they provide inno ...

Similitude applied to centrifugal scaling of unsaturated flow

David Andrew Barry

Centrifuge experiments modeling single-phase flow in prototype porous media typically use the same porous medium and permeant. Then, well-known scaling laws are used to transfer the results to the prototype. More general scaling laws that relax these restr ...

Numerical Experiments with Support Vector Machines

The report presents a series of numerical experiments concerning application of Support Vector Machines for the two class spatial data classification. The main attention is paid to the variability of the results by changing hyperparameters: bandwidth of th ...
