| 101-0368-00L | Constitutive and Numerical Modelling in Geotechnics The priority is given to the students with Major in Geotechnics. | W | 6 KP | 4G | A. Puzrin, D. Hauswirth | ||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course aims to achieve a basic understanding of conventional continuum mechanics approaches to constitutive and numerical modeling of soils in getechnical problems. We focus on applications of the constitutive models within the available numerical codes. Important issue of derivation of model parameters from the lab tests has also received considerable attention. | ||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | This course targets geotechnical engineers, who face these days more often the necessity of the numerical analysis in their practice. Understanding of the limitations of the built-in constitutive models is crucial for critical assessment of the results of numerical calculations, and, hence, for the conservative and cost efficient design of geotechnical structures. The purpose of this course has been to bridge the gap between the graduate courses in Geomechanics and those in Numerical Modeling. Traditionally, in many geotechnical programs, Geomechanics is not taught within the rigorous context of Continuum Mechanics. There is a good reason for that – the behavior of soils is very complex: it is more advantageous to explain it at a semi-empirical level, instead of scaring the students away with cumbersome mathematical models. However, when it comes to Numerical Modeling courses, these are often taught using commercially available finite elements (e.g. ABAQUS, PLAXIS) or finite differences (e.g. FLAC) software, which utilize constitutive relationships within the Continuous Mechanics framework. Quite often students have to learn the challenging subject of constitutive modeling from a program manual! | ||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | This course is introductory - by no means does it claim any completeness and state of the art in such a dynamically developing field as constitutive and numerical modeling of soils. Our intention is to achieve a basic understanding of conventional continuum mechanics approaches to constitutive and numerical modeling, which can serve as a foundation for exploring more advanced theories. We focus on applications of the constitutive models within the available numerical codes. Important issue of derivation of model parameters from the lab tests has also received considerable attention. | ||||||||||||||

| Inhalt | The past few years a lot of discussion has been sparked on AI in the Architecture, Construction, and Facility Management (ACFM) industry. Despite advancements in this interdisciplinary field, we still have not answered fundamental questions about adopting and adapting AI technology for ACFM. In order to achieve this, we need to be equipped with rudimentary knowledge of how this technology works and what are essential points to consider when applying AI to this specific domain. In addition, the availability of sensors that collect visual data in commodity hardware (e.g., mobile phone and tablet), is creating an even bigger pressure in identifying ways that new technology can be leveraged to increase efficiency and decrease risk in this trillion-dollar industry. However, cautious and well-thought steps need to be taken in the right direction, in order for such technologies to thrive in an industry that showcases inertia in technological adoption. The course will unfold as two parallel storylines that intersect in multiple places: 1) The first storyline will introduce fundamentals in computer vision and machine learning technology, as building blocks that one should consider when developing related applications. These blocks will be discussed with respect to latest developments (e.g., deep neural networks), pointing out their impact in the final solution. 2) The second storyline consists of 3 ACFM processes, namely architectural design, construction renovation, and facility management. These processes will serve as application examples of the technological storyline. In the points of connection students will see the importance of taking into account the application requirements when designing an AI system, as well as their impact on the building blocks. Guest speakers from both the AI and ACFM domains will complement the lectures. | ||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course does not require any background in AI, Computer Science, coding, or the ACFM domain. It is designed for students of any background and knowledge on these topics. Despite being an introductory class, it will still engage advanced students in the aforementioned topics. | ||||||||||||||

| 101-0529-00L | Introduction to Extended Reality (XR) for Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations | W | 3 KP | 2G | R. Kuttantharappel Soman | ||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course introduces Extended Reality (XR) applied to Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO). It will explore the fundamentals of XR (Virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality) in a tight reference to three applications in AECO, namely design, construction, and operations. | ||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | By the end of the course, students will learn the fundamentals of XR, its applications in the AECO sector, and the skills to identify, develop, and deploy XR applications for the AECO problems. Specifically, they will: -Gain a fundamental understanding of XR, including virtual reality continuum, characteristics of XR systems, perceiving digital information, etc. -Be able to identify the opportunities for application of XR in different stages of a project such as conception, design, construction. -Critically think about existing solutions and identify limitations, pitfalls, and bottlenecks in existing solutions. -Acquire hands-on experience in creative thinking and designing an XR application. -Be able to communicate with technology developers and translate AECO end-user requirements into system requirements for application development. | ||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Over the past decade, the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector has undergone significant digital transformation. It has changed how AECO professionals have created, shared, and perceived information. The information has evolved from drawings to building information models and building information models to the digital twin. Since this information is in multiple dimensions, new methods are being developed to interact and visualize them in order to exploit it for better data-driven decisions. XR allows construction professionals to visualize, understand, and communicate such complex information easily. It helps AECO professionals “see” digital content in different ways and for different purposes. To utilize this to the full potential, AECO professionals should have the skills and be equipped with the rudimentary knowledge of how this technology works and vital points to consider when applying XR to this specific domain. The course will introduce students to: •Fundamental concepts of XR •Emerging practice and problems in AECO domains that could leverage XR •Developing XR systems to solve problems in the AECO domain The course will unfold as two parallel tracks with numerous overlaps: 1) The first track will introduce fundamentals of XR, including but not limited to the virtual reality continuum, XR devices, perception, development of the virtual world, the interaction between real and virtual world, and development of XR systems. 2) The second track consists of the applications of XR in the AECO sector. It will discuss the evolution of information in the AECO sector and introduce digital twin concepts and how XR helps to interact with digital twins during design, construction, and operations. Finally, it will present the state-of-the-art in the industry (through guest speakers) and the future of XR in AECO (through research paper discussions). The overlap will help the students understand the importance of considering the application requirements when designing an XR system and the opportunities and limitations of the technology when envisioning a new application. | ||||||||||||||
| Skript | Throughout the course, students will be asked to solve assignments and mini-exercises that would require critical thinking, research in prior work, and critical review of the existing state-of-the-art.

| 101-0194-00L | Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting of Existing Buildings | W | 2 KP | 1G | A. Tsiavos | ||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The aim of this course is to present the state of the art of the current procedures for seismic evaluation and retrofitting of existing buildings in Switzerland (Norm SIA 269/8) and worldwide. Emphasis will be given on the practical application of these procedures in real buildings located in Switzerland, through case studies presented by experts in the field. | ||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | A large percentage of the existing building inventory worldwide has been constructed before the introduction of the current seismic code provisions. The seismic deficiencies observed in many of these structures are a direct outcome of their non-compliance with these provisions and the established engineering practices in seismic design. Moreover, the unavoidable material deterioration in these structures could further inhibit their seismic performance. Therefore, the knowledge of the current procedures and common practices for the seismic evaluation and retrofitting of buildings is of paramount importance. This course presents an overview of these procedures through a wide spectrum of applied case studies in Switzerland and worldwide. The students will work on a project related to the presented case studies, thus obtaining deep understanding on the application of these procedures and a feeling on how to engineer practical retrofitting strategies towards the seismic upgrading of existing buildings. | ||||||||||||||
