1. Prestress and its application to shell, fabric, and cable net structures
Sammanfattning : Prestressing and shells provide means to create material-efficient and well-functioning structures, as do their combination, offering opportunities for increased material efficiency within the built environment. Prestressing introduces stresses in an object to enhance its performance, and shells include concrete shells, masonry vaults, fabric structures, cable nets, and timber or steel gridshells. LÄS MER
2. The Absent Meaning of Concrete Form in Theory of Architecture
Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to discuss architecture as forming practical conditions for our way-of-being, and to clarify that which prevents traditional theory of architecture from dealing with these practical conditions as such. The dissertation investigates a theoretical problem concerning the nature of the relation between human being and the built environment. LÄS MER
3. Hydrophobic Impregnation of Concrete Structures : Effects on Concrete Properties
Sammanfattning : Hydrophobic impregnations often referred to as water repellent agents, today mainly consisting of alkylalkoxysilanes, are often used on concrete to prolong the service life of the structure. This is accomplished by protecting the reinforcement bars from chlorides or by changing the moisture content inside. LÄS MER
4. Differential geometry and structural action of vaults and shells
Sammanfattning : Masonry vaults and bridges, concrete shells, and steel and timber grid shells are all examples of shell structures. Their beauty, spatial qualities, structural efficiency and manufacturing are closely tied to their geometry. LÄS MER
5. An Algorithmic Framework for Intelligent Concrete Structural Defects Detection and Classification
Sammanfattning : The primary objective of inspecting concrete civil structures is to gather information concerning the deterioration of concrete elements, including issues like concrete cover cracking, delamination, or corrosion. Typically, this data is documented through field inspection notes, hand-drawn sketches, and photographs. LÄS MER
