The Effect of Rivers on Energy Balance at the Neighborhood Scale. A comparative analysis of four Rhodanian sites in France and Switzerland

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Martine Laprise, Sara Sonia Formery Regazzoni

This research aims to compare the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of new neighbourhood projects near the Rhône River in France and Switzerland. The study considers the influence of the river on energy demand and resilience to climate change of 12 project-ba ...

RE:SLAB — a load bearing system for open-ended component reuse in building structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Dario Redaelli, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos

The construction industry plays a major role in the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation observed nowadays. Key to the circular economy, structural component reuse arises as a promising solution to divert cons ...

Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer, Julie Rachel Devènes

Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...

Contextual Stochastic Bilevel Optimization

Daniel Kuhn, Andreas Krause, Yifan Hu, Jie Wang

We introduce contextual stochastic bilevel optimization (CSBO) -- a stochastic bilevel optimization framework with the lower-level problem minimizing an expectation conditioned on some contextual information and the upper-level decision variable. This fram ...

Building structures made of reused cut reinforced concrete slabs and walls: A case study

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer

Reuse of reinforced concrete (RC) components reduces construction’s environmental impacts and waste. Rather than crushing the concrete of an obsolete structure, its components are saw cut and later reassembled in a new structure. The theoretical feasibilit ...

Improving the use of the housing stock to reduce its environmental impact

Philippe Thalmann

In the future, the existing housing stock should be improved while less new dwellings are built. This improvement will take the form of energy-efficient renovation as well as by encouraging cohabitation and reducing the amount of living space occupied per ...

Characteristic rupture height of the mediating air film beneath an impacting drop on atomically smooth mica

John Martin Kolinski, Ramin Kaviani

Before a droplet can contact a surface during impact, it must first displace the air beneath it. Over a wide range of impact velocities, the droplet first squeezes the air into a thin film, enhancing its resistance to drainage; this slows the progress of t ...
