The thesis is aimed at characterising the multi-scale and hydro-mechanical behaviour of lightly compacted silty sand penetrated by a turf-grass (Cynodon Dactilon). The study will allow better assessing ...
Komarizadehasl, Seyedmilad (Fecha de defensa: 2022-10-27)
(English) There is increasing interest in developing low-cost sensors for economical structural health monitoring of civil engineering infrastructures. In addition to their price, they have the additional ...
Bado, Mattia Francesco (Fecha de defensa: 2021-07-26)
The employment of a novel cutting edge strain monitoring technique named Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) as Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) tools is becoming increasingly common. Its popularity ...
Titscher, Thomas (Fecha de defensa: 2019-09-27)
Concrete is a complex material and can be modeled on various spatial and temporal scales. While simulations on coarse scales are practical for engineering applications, a deeper understanding of the ...
