Characterization of water sorption cycle in the cement microstructure of controlled oxide composition

This thesis investigates the water vapour sorption behaviour of samples with maximized calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) content. Primarily, the role of heterogeneous and homogeneous cavitation has been studied during the drying of cementitious materials. C ...

Seismic Performance Characterization of Wood-Sheathed and Cold-Formed Steel Framed Floor and Roof Diaphragm Structures

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper describes a research program involving wood-sheathed and cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm assemblies.The diaphragm’s response to in-plane monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading is investigated in an effort to characterize the seis ...

Characterization of Cold-Formed Steel Framed/Wood Sheathed Floor and Roof Diaphragm Structures

Dimitrios Lignos

The seismic in-plane response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm structures has not been the subject of extensive study. The information available specific to diaphragm design in the North American CFS design standard is based on limited experimen ...

Dynamic testing of a four-storey building with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls: Prediction, test results and data set

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry, Marco Tondelli

This paper presents the results of a series of shake-table tests on a half-scale, four-storey building with reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Due to the lack of reference tests, the seismic behaviour of such mixed structures is ...

A 3D moving mesh Finite Element Method for two-phase flows

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

A 3D ALE Finite Element Method is developed to study two-phase flow phenomena using a new discretization method to compute the surface tension forces. The computational method is based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation (ALE) and the Finite E ...

Survivability of integrated PVDF film sensors to accelerated ageing conditions in aeronautical/aerospace structures

Alain Schorderet, Joël Cugnoni, Enrique René Guzman Solares

This work validates the use of integrated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film sensors for dynamic testing, even after being subjected to UV-thermo-hygro-mechanical accelerated ageing conditions. The verification of PVDF sensors' survivability in these envi ...

Quantification of fundamental frequency drop for unreinforced masonry buildings from dynamic tests

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel

The knowledge of fundamental frequency and damping ratio of structures is of uppermost importance in earthquake engineering, especially to estimate the seismic demand. However, elastic and plastic frequency drops and damping variations make their estimatio ...

Testing dynamical models of vision

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Johannes Rüter

Most models of vision focus either on the spatial or temporal aspects of visual processing and neglect the other component. A variety of studies have shown, however, that spatial and temporal processing cannot easily be separated. The shine-through effect ...

Dynamic Testing of Flow Graph Based Parallel Applications

Roger Hersch, Basile Schäli

In message-passing parallel applications, messages are not delivered in a strict order. The number of messages, their content and their destination may depend on the ordering of their delivery. Nevertheless, for most applications, the computation results s ...
