Application of Association Rules to Determine Building Typological Classes for Seismic Damage Predictions at Regional Scale: The Case Study of Basel

Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Lorenzo Diana

Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of all ...

Findings from a survey on the current use of life-cycle assessment in building design

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The built environment is facing environmental regulations more ambitious than ever before. In Europe, a law will lead all new buildings to the Nearly Zero-Energy performance level. However, even if a building does not have any energy consumption for its op ...

Influence of non-structural components on the seismic response of cold-formed steel structures

Dimitrios Lignos

Shortcomings exist with respect to accounting for the influence of non-structural components, e.g. gypsum panels installed on the ceilings (floors and roof diaphragms) and walls, on the response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed structures subjected to sei ...

Structural Characterization of Traditional Moment-Resisting Timber Joinery

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Jingxian Ye

This paper investigates the structural performance of traditional moment-resisting interlocking timber joints for modern building construction. Gradually improved over generations, traditional Japanese and Chinese interlocking connections have proven struc ...

Overpass bridge of the L3378 road near Fulda-Lehnerz First application of UHPFRC in road bridge construction in Germany. Part 1

Eugen Brühwiler

Aging bridges of the German federal road network often cannot be rehabilitated or replaced timely due to insufficient funding and complex regulations of building laws. Consequently, novel building materials and alternative solutions get the opportunity to ...

Numerical study on factors that influence the in-plane drift capacity of unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer

Displacement‐based assessment procedures require as input reliable estimates of the deformation capacity of all structural elements. For unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, current design codes specify the in‐plane deformation capacity as empirical equations ...
