In Switzerland, the peak period for the construction of large hydropower plants dates back than 50 years ago. Only in the '80s a reaction was discovered, which generates internal swelling of the concrete and causes permanent damage to the structures. The r ...
Determination of the local void fraction in BWRs from in-core neutron noise measurements requires the knowledge of the axial velocity of the void. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the problem of determining the axial void velocity profile from the t ...
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, ...
In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...
This thesis evaluates the effects of the position of the concrete core and its stiffness on the horizontal deformation of a multi-storey timber-concrete hybrid building. As part of the evaluation a calculation method with polynomial functions was derived t ...
A groundbreaking work resulting from the collaboration between the three major Swiss Architectural Archives and the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel. A historical assessment of the most controversial building material of our time, concrete, made by addre ...
In this paper, the applicability of the Partial Safety Factor Format (PSFF) of EN1992-1-1:2004 (Eurocode 2 for Concrete Structures) to the reliability verification of structural concrete resistance involving multiple failure modes is investigated. This is ...
It is well known that control specimens used to assess the concrete strength of new structures have different casting and curing conditions than those of actual structures. Notably, after pouring of the concrete and before its hardening, a number of phenom ...
By studying approximately a century of cement and concrete in Switzerland, this project examines the relations between institutions, discourse, and technology as they intersect in the material. The project is framed so that the establishment of organizatio ...
