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.
Thin optical beam-shaping elements that are able to produce good quality images and that are operational with different light sources are studied in this work. The influence of the design approach on the smoothness of their surface and on the image quality ...
This paper analyses Maillart’s Vessy Bridge from a design point of view using thrust lines. As it has previously been shown that Robert Maillart used graphic statics to design the line and the structural features of his bridges, it proves appropriate to re ...
A challenging problem related to the design of polar codes is "robustness against channel parameter variations'', as stated in Arıkan's original work. In this paper, we describe how the problem of robust polar code design can be viewed as a mismatch decodi ...
Current design procedures for structural concrete elements are based on member level (or local) safety checks, in the sense that the safety condition is evaluated at each cross-section individually. In the examination of existing structures, the exploitati ...
The monograph advocates rigorous system design as a coherent and accountable model-based process leading from requirements to correct implementations. It presents the current state of the art in system design, discusses its limitations, and identifies poss ...
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) break with traditional systems such as desktop computers and servers, in various ways: (1) they are instrumented in order to interact with physical environments; (2) they are interconnected to allow interaction between people a ...
In January 2011, the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA) published a series of standards for existing structures. The standard entitled 'existing structures-bases for examination and interventions' specifies the principles, the terminology and ...
Prestressing in flat slabs helps in controlling deformations and cracking under service loads and allows reducing the required slab thickness, leading thus to more slender structures and being therefore an economic solution for long spans. However, as a co ...
In many unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings reinforced concrete (RC) slabs or ring beams maintain the integrity of the building when subjected to seismic loading and redistribute forces between different URM piers. In addition, RC slabs and ring beams con ...
The architect Antonio Croci was born in Mendrisio on April 7th 1823. In 1837, he applies to the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan where he studied ornament, architecture, aesthetics and perspective. Documents kept in the historical archive in Mendrisio w ...
