Application of association rules to determine building typological classes for seismic damage predictions at regional scale. The case study of Basel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Uncertainty Updating in the Description of Coupled Heat and Moisture Transport in Heterogeneous Materials

open access: yes, 2011
To assess the durability of structures, heat and moisture transport need to be analyzed. To provide a reliable estimation of heat and moisture distribution in a certain structure, one needs to include all available information about the loading ...

Pros and Cons of Bernini's Design for the Louvre: Monumentality Without Dome, Pediment or Free‐Standing Column and Its Drawbacks

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT In the 17th‐century Louvre expansion project, many architects used free‐standing columns, domes and large pediments for its east elevation. These elements helped give the elevation, over 150 m wide, the monumentality the court wanted, while also providing the appropriate articulation. Bernini was probably the only architect who did not use any

Gaya Lateral In-Plane Struktur Portal Dinding Pasangan Bata ½ Batu Melalui Analisis Numerik

open access: yesSemesta Teknika, 2016
Building construction in Indonesia is categorized as two big classes; there are engineered building and non-engineered building. Non-engineered building is very susceptible to the lateral load such as an earthquake, either medium earthquake or massive ...

From Quarries to Urban Construction Sites: Middle‐Late Mesozoic Limestones in the Public Architecture of Roman Verona, Italy

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerous buildings, monuments, and infrastructural works in Verona were constructed during the Roman period using stone, a material abundantly available from quarrying areas located relatively close to the city. Petrographic investigations conducted by Transmitted Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (TPL‐OM) and complemented by colorimetric ...

Optimising Convolutional Neural Networks to Predict the Hygrothermal Performance of Building Components

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Performing numerous simulations of a building component, for example to assess its hygrothermal performance with consideration of multiple uncertain input parameters, can easily become computationally inhibitive.
