LES study on the urban wind energy resources above the roof of buildings in generic cluster arrangements: Impact of building position
(Elsevier, 2023)
Urbanisation brought an increasing prevalence of groups of high-rise buildings and raised new questions about their impact on local wind flow conditions and the wind energy harvesting potential. The focus of this study is ...
Influence of inter-panel connections on vibration response of CLT floors due to pedestrian-induced loading
(Engineering Structures, 2023)
Long-span cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors are typically an assembly of prefabricated CLT panels connected together on the site. The actual connections are commonly neglected in design calculations. Hence, a CLT floor ...
RILEM interlaboratory study on the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures modified with polyethylene waste
(Elsevier, 2022)
This research aims to determine if the observed improvements using polyethylene (PE) waste in asphalt binder translate into better performance at the asphalt mixture scale in the laboratory environment while overcoming the ...
Quantifying tall structure tilting trend through TLS-based 3D parametric modelling
(Elsevier, 2022)
Geodetic monitoring of a tall structure means employing various methods of measurement and data processing for assessing its verticality. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a method of collecting lots of quality spatial ...
Advancing traditional strategies for testing hydrological model fitness in a changing climate
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Mitigation of adverse effects of global warming relies on accurate flow projections under climate change. These projections usually focus on changes in hydrological signatures, such as 100-year floods, which are estimated ...
Ground Surface Subsidence Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 in the “Kostolac” Open Pit Coal Mine
(MDPI, 2023)
Open pit coal mining affects surrounding populated areas, resulting in terrain surface deformation. Surface deformation should be monitored as often as possible to control deformations and prevent potential incidents. This ...
Streamflow droughts in Sweden: Spatiotemporal patterns emerging from six decades of observations
(Elsevier, 2022)
Study focus:
Although Sweden has historically been a country abundant with water, observed changes in temperature and precipitation patterns during the past century have perturbed regional hydrologic regimes, including ...
Refinement of Individual Tree Detection Results Obtained from Airborne Laser Scanning Data for a Mixed Natural Forest
(MDPI, 2022)
Numerous semi- and fully-automatic algorithms have been developed for individual tree detection from airborne laser-scanning data, but different rates of falsely detected treetops also accompany their results. In this ...
Shake‑table testing of a stone masonry building aggregate: overview of blind prediction study
(Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023)
City centres of Europe are often composed of unreinforced masonry structural aggregates, whose seismic response is challenging to predict. To advance the state of the art on the seismic response of these aggregates, the ...
Flat slab response for seismic and cyclic actions prediction with numerical models
(Engineering Structures, 2023)
As an outcome of a recent European research project, the modelling of the response of flat slab structures for seismic and cyclic loading was the object of a blind competition. No other blind tests are available in the ...
